Learning is a very wondeful thing. I have been at the school of learning in the past few weeks, most of the learning has been through books of course, but then, where else are we told to go other than to our books. I know it is easier to learn from Youtube and other video sources but then I digress.
I have learnt something about how some companies are run, how to design websites with Dreamweaver, and how to mock-up a website with Photoshop, while at it, I learnt about using the photoshop mock-up to create a website in Dreamweaver and it was one of those Aha! moments, it just blew me away. After that I delved into the world of WordPress. Yes I know I am already using WordPress on my site. But after the few things I just learnt, I asked myself would it be so bad to try and develop and WordPress theme and donate to the WordPress repository as a means of giving back to the system. And that is how the journey began, the journey to become a wordpress theme developer.
I have already developed a theme with assistance from a tutorial I read in a mag and I could see my name as theme developer and all that but I need to do something from the scratch which will require learning some PHP, CSS and improving my HTML as well as Photoshop manipulation but then it is good so far though I have found Coda 2 an intersting piece of software but still learning to use it.
Now in this quest, the first question is this, How do you convert a Dreamweaver site to a WordPress theme? I have seen some stuff out there and I hope to post tutorials when I learn anything in this quest but I will appreciate any help.
Thanks
