wordpress design tutorial
 

i want my own wordpress design, but it doesn't seem so easy to manage this, is there some easy to understand tutorial about how to create own designs in wordpress?

Just look at whats out there . Good knowledge of CSS is definitly needed

How secure is Wordpress? A couple of my sites are on a host which offers blog software and to no surprise, the daily sniffing hits for blog functions is significant.

Also, does Wordpress come standard with 'normal' (non-script) URL capabilties or is an add-on package required (using Mod Rewrite) ?

-Thanks

The site is down for me at the minute for some reason but I am sure there is good stuff in there about modifying themes.

seoguy,

Just last nite I attempted this myself.

I havent been able to get where i want to go, but i'm making progress...

There are really only 2 blocks of code that you need to learn to use... The tough thing with looking at the default designs is that they use divs and css to identify lengths

Just tough it out, learn CSS and then quit and hire a designer...

ok, that last post was retarted. What I learned was you cant find something similar to what you want, and mod it... you moreso have to do it from the ground up

go into your themes directory and edit index.php


do this:

<TABLE border=1><TR><TD>

<!---- THE GUTS -->

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class=hahahahahaha id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php th
e_title(); ?></a></h2>
<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>

<div class="entry">
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
</div>

<p class="postmetadata">Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> <strong>|</strong> <?php edit_post_link('Edit','
','<strong>|</strong>'); ?> <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments hahaha187;', '1 Comment hahaha187;', '% Comments hahaha187;'); ?></p>
</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
</div>

<?php else : ?>

<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>


<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php"); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<!-- END THE GUTS -->


</TD><TD>
<!-- PUT THEIR NAV HERE -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<!-- END PUT THEIR NAV HERE -->
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
