No problem at all. Stay tuned for more Concrete5 videos which will hopefully help greater uptake of this excellent CMS :-)

I was ready to drop the whole C5 thing.

The official vid is long, slow and pathetic. Impossible.

The one on vimeo is better, but who can see what he is doing there...

Man, your vid is just the best.

Thank you very much.

Fantastic tutorial you've made this a lot easier for me! Thank you!

[Max Gershfield]

this is a genuinely great tutorial, thanks guys.

I have a question- I want to make a custom theme, variation of the 'greek yoghurt' template only with a background out of photoshop. How different from the way in which you went about customising your site would that be?

peace

Hehe, I was in the same situation and felt reassured when I saw the same code here.

thanks for the vids, I pretty much managed to work all this out before i found your vids but these served as a nice little reference to let me know i was going about things in the right way. also pointing out some things i didn't think about such as naming conventions etc. is it a good idea to remove the other theme files after installing and activating your own so that i cant be changed by someone unaware of the consequences or will this cause problems? thanks
