Wordpress Template Programming - Part 1

www.pixelforlife.com

This is the beginning of a Wordpress template programming series.

What sets this apart from other tutorials, is that you get to see it from Start to Finish.
What this means, is that you get to see me makes mistakes and what I do to fix them.

This should be a great learning experience, so press play and enjoy the ride.

Take a look at this plugin very easy to use and might get you into the direction you need for that awesome page-rotator idea (if you haven't already worked a way out yet).

I did not create this plugin, just think it rocks. I'm using it right now as a thumbnail rotator for my featured/recent videos. So glad flash isn't needed for this type of thing anymore, Jquery ftw ;)

@sliver37 Wow - That looks like it may be exactly what I need. Thank you very much.

Did anyone else notice that all the wordpress tutorials are on mac? I think that says something about the programmer of macs.

@Seaindigodeep Are you working with existing pages or starting fresh? They might be locked from the original designer. Might also be a check in/check out issue or a read write issue on your server.

Since you wrote this a year ago I figure you found your answer or gave up already :)

@kirktaylorcom Why would you ever want to design your own house when there are already so many houses built already....? O_O

Sorry have to lol on this one...

@kirktaylorcom How about from a point of a upcoming designer who might want to started selling his own templates?

Interesting Video on WordPress Templates. Why would you choose to build your own template when there are so many great packages out now?

Hi,

I'm having trouble editing the .php file for Wordpress (I'm trying to create a theme). I've tried both Coda and Dreamweaver CS4 to do this but the files are all locked and displays the files as "read-only."

I'm guessing it's a problem with my MAMP. I believe I granted all access to myself as it is indicated in the "Priveleges"

Any tips? I've been running in circles searching for this on the web. =/

Best regards!
