Too cool! I’ve customized a ton of Wordpress themes for clients but I’ve never done one from scratch. I’ve got a billion design ideas so I should be able to make them actually work after going through these tuts. Thanks!

Thanks a bunch for compiling all these tutorials together, I am hoping to sort out my own personal design soon when i get some time and have no problem with creating the actual html and css but the actual integration with the wordpress format will be much easier with these.

What about tutorials that specifically deal with integrating the Pshop eye-candy with the WP coding and special tags? I’ve seen some of these tutes, and they only deal with the graphics, not the true integration into a final working WP theme.

Oh my, this has to be the single best post on blog design ever created! So many styles to choose from, I’m overwhelmed.
You brought my faith back, I was starting to feel like reading blogs is a waste of time since I learn nothing new … I’m glad I was wrong

Very good tutorials. They go beyond wordpress but give some Photoshop artwork tips as well. I am an expert wordpress blog designer more focus on the PHP/MySQL side of things and converting PSD design into CSS based wordpress themes.
This side is really a great resources for both novices and seasoned wordpress enthusiasts like myself.
Keep up the good work folks.

Helping staff better understand the economic, political, and social realities in which families live improves their ability to commu- nicate with the community and helps them to motivate young people in their own learning. ,
