Creating a wordpress theme from scratch
September 29, 2008 - 3:30 pm
I’ve been meaning to get around to making a wordpress theme from scratch for ages.. but I never seem to have the time and always just find one thats near enough so just bastardise that for my own blog 
But one thing I did notice is that the documentation around wordpress isn’t brilliant and there is a serious lack of guides for creating your own themes
Today I stumbled upon this guide which I’ve had a read through and it’s brilliant
Goes right through from designing a layout, slicing it up and eventually coding the individual pages
If you are half decent at html/css you should be able to make a theme from scratch using this guide, big thumbs up from me to the original author!

A great jumping off point for creating WordPress themes is Sandbox http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/
I am really curious if this would work as well with the new WordPress 3.0 that is going to be released this month. Have you tried it with the latest Release Candidate or do you have any info about that? Thank you.
Ted,
I haven’t unfortunately had time to try wordpress 3.0 yet but I can’t think of any reason that it wouldn’t work
