Create your own wordpress theme

February 16th, 2010

wpI have been working with wordpress for little over a month now, I had previously been aware of wordpress and similar site but had always avoided using them; mainly because I wanted to develop the skills to develop an entire site from scratch.

Upon using WP I have found that it actually gives you just as much freedom as a from scratch development but with all the advantages of pre written and proven plugins/apps.

I intend to build my own WP theme from scratch to test my limits. In the future I intend to build my freelance sites using WP to give my clients more control over there web content.

Whilst searching for tips and trick I came across this blog entry, it is very good at explaining the transition from artwork to WP theme but also the way wordpress thinks.

Windows 8!

February 12th, 2010

It is commonly thought that all designers use Macs, however most designer I know use PC’s and Laptops because of the simple fact that they are cheaper to buy and run. Windows 7 has gone some of they way of bridging the functionality gap between Apple and MS machines. However Windows 8 is well into its production (in some aspects since 2002).

Hopefully Windows 8 will hold more surprises for designers. A demo video and website have already been  posted.
