WordPress Theme / CSS Techniques
- Filed under: Resource
Here’s a list of WordPress and CSS resources that helped me get to where I am today in WordPress themes development. The following links are listed in no pariticular order.
- Faux Columns (by Dan Cederholm)
Your main column and sidebar column backgrounds aren’t even? Faux Columns is the answer. - Max Design CSS Tutorials
Styling WordPress is mostly styling lists. Max Design tutorials are the best place to start. - Sliding Door (by Douglas Bowman)
For an advance horizontal menu, learn the sliding door technique. Wpdesigner’s current top menu bar is the result of Sliding Door. - Dynamic Menu Highlighting
After learning the Sliding Door technique, take it a step further. Learn how to highlight your menu tabs. - Tizag PHP Tutorials
Creating a WordPress theme doesn’t involve just XHTML and CSS. You need a bit of PHP knowledge. I like Tizag.com’s detailed tutorial on the If / Else statement the most. - WordPress Lessons
Read my tutorials? Ready to move on? At the end of the day, there’s no better guides than the lessons from WordPress.org showing you the ins and outs of a WordPress theme. - Lorelle.WordPress.com
To learn even more about WordPress, design, and development, visit Lorelle on wordpress.com. - Designing Themes for Public Release
Want to create and release your own free WordPress theme? Read Designing Themes for Public Release first.
The last and ultimate resource is curiosity. I keep learning in order to improve my methods and techniques so I can create better WordPress themes at a faster rate.
Some interesting links there! I loved the sliding doors explanation, because I’ve been struggling to get my tabs to change their width dynamically for ages now. And the faux columns is a good tut as well, although I knew about that.
Great list!
tanx
great! that will help me through
Tizag is also very good for xhtml, css and mysql training. Definetly check out the PHP tutorials its a good foundation.
Great list.
But there should be a lot more links. Look forward your next part technique list.
No. that’s my one and only list. From there on, you need to keep learning on your own.
Great info, another good read. I will check out the source, and it’s being a while I’m dig into any design stuffs. Anyway, I found out your blog post also look very good and style, maybe next time you can share with us how you blog with style:)
Well done / great thanx for some links. Good infos for my.Rgds Richard
This is a great list and one I’ll be following…now I see I have to get back over here MORE often because a number of your posts would have saved me time doing my own research. Thanks a ton.
The good news is that I’ve been on the right path. Trying to learn…but will never be a designer. I love the look and feel of your templates.
