# Plugins and code dependency

 * When creating a new theme do I need to be aware of style naming and comments 
   for plugins to work? What are the things to be aware of for plugins?
 * I’m doing my own theme they way I want, the way I’m used to. Think WP is too 
   complex (like php in general). But perhaps there are a few guidelines I have 
   to follow?

 * A quick search would have provided you with plenty of resources – such as [Designing_Themes_for_Public_Release](http://codex.wordpress.org/Designing_Themes_for_Public_Release)
   and [Theme_Development](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development).

 * Thanks. Didn’t see your post. Thought I would get an email when updated.
 * “A quick search”. I did. And this is my point. WP is way to complex. This is 
   what I call information overload. Soooo tired of this overload.
 * I have a saying; “if the pedagogical level on the net among developers and programmers
   would be better we could all take a vacation” 🙂
 * Not saying I’m any better. But I know when I see complexity.

 * “Consider hiring a professional”
 * Thanks but I’m a web developer 🙂 But rather new to WP and need it for a project.
   Left php a long time ago for the easier and better rails. In general there is“
   half the page” diff for both code and explanations.
