How To Create Your Own Wordpress Theme

I have been toying with the idea of creating my own wordpress theme for some time now but I have found it a bit tedious to say the least. I have found sites that offer to teach you how to make your own wordpress theme by using the default theme as your starting point and then customising the header.php, sidebar.php and footer.php to make it your own theme. But the default template is rather average to say the least. You could if you know code create your own files from scratch but that is a little bit hard for beginners or intermediates for that matter. Do Not Fear I Have Found The Answer To How To Create Your Own Wordpress Theme. There is a site where you can get a blank wordpress theme and customize that accordingly and you do not have to leave credits in the footer. One of the worst things about using free templates for your blog is the links back to the creator in the footer. This pulls on your SEO juice for your site. It is much better to have your own links in the footer and you can do this with either of these blank themes. There are 3 types of blank themes that you can download they are from refueled.net 2 column left sidebar: Live Preview - Download 2 column right sidebar: Live Preview - Download 3 column: Live Preview - Download I personally like the 2 column right sidebar and the 3 column one. I am playing around with customizing the 3 column one now. If you know a little bit about how to customize your header.php, footer.php & sidebar.php you will be able to create your own personal site with your own links in the credits. Give it a go and let me know how you go.
