New Theme for johnmcalester.com
I have been working with WordPress for about a year now. At first just learning the structure of a WordPress site and then branching out to modifying themes and using WordPress as a CMS. It was rewarding work but often very frustrating. I recently came across and really nice tutorial by Chris Coyier of css-tricks.com which outlines how to create a WordPress theme from scratch.
The tutorials cover creating a theme from start to finish in an easy to follow way and they helped me to clear out some bad habits that I have acquired over the last year. The best part of the tutorial, I think, is that Chris shows how to design your theme from a blank theme. This really helps to start things off on the right foot and create a solid foundation for your theme minus a lot of the frustration. From the tutorial I created the new theme for this site. Thanks!
