    Hi Guys,

    I'm hoping to make a theme for this website http://www.genuinefreebies.co.uk - do you think it is a fairly easy task to do?

    Thanks!

    Depends on how experienced with WordPress you are.

    For anyone used to creating themes, yes it would be straighforward.

    Yes, I have managed to implement the basics. You can see here - http://www.genuinefreebies.co.uk/blog - However, when you click the title (i'm still coding in the CSS to get the colour of text, etc correct) it just goes to a totally disfunctional page.

    Any advise on why it does this?

    Thanks

    Your single post page is missing critical markup tags - like <body>.

    I have managed to sort that, so everything is functioning correctly. But I'm really struggling with the CSS to make the text fit in with the rest of the website.

    Are there any tools out there that can help with this?

    Install Chris Pederick's Firefox Web Developer plugin https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60/ - don't forget to send him a donation when you realise how much this makes life easier.

    With this you can select "Outline Current Element" to identify what to change in the CSS & use "Edit CSS" to test changes in the browser on the fly before editing the css file for real.

    Also it might help to have a copy of Eric Meyer's CSS Pocket Reference within reach.

    Thanks, Cubecolour!

    Just what I've been looking for... I'm guessing it won't work in chrome :) I'll get FF installed
