How hard would it be fore me to make a theme that looks just like this

  • https://www.ajay17.com

    I have no idea how to make one. Just wondering if I should even try. That is my blog and I’m getting tired of adding posts with Dreamweaver and I want to be able to add them whenever and where ever I want to.

    Thanks

  • Don’t I know you from somewhere? ??

    It shouldn’t be too hard. You could do the design in Dreamweaver and then add the WordPress template tags into the code yourself. I do have to admit that I’m not particularly familiar with Dreamweaver so I don’t know if there’s any provision for making this type of page in it, so you might not even have to do that.

    dude your from IGN lol. Thanks for all the help. I’m not sure if I’m going to persue this or not though.

    It’s possible…. but depending on how the layout is, it’s a roayl pain. But it can be done.
    Eeeew!! Ick! I just looked at the source…. tables…. yuck.
    In order to really be successful at porting it over you will need to be really comfortable at coding HTML & some PHP by HAND….
    The way I would tackle it (And I’ve been successfull at getting this to work – my current design is a port) is to start with nothing. Start from scratch. Then add in div tags… one for the blog header, one for the page, one for the side bar, one for the posts, one for individual posts, and one for the footer. — I give each one a border of a different color so I can tell them apart. Then I play with the positioning until they are close to being in the right spot. In comes the sample text so I can see what it looks like, then I play with the colors, turn off the borders, adjust positioning, conver it into a php file, and start adding the wp template tags, making adjustments in the CSS to prevent it from going all to crap on me as I go along. Eventualy it comes out right somehow.

    In your case, depending on how much HTML & CSS you know, you could probably take your existing layout, swap tables for div tags & some ul/li tags and adjust a few things and it would be just fine.

    I guess I’m just gonna keep posting the way I am then. I really doubt I could do that on my own, and I don’t have the cash to ask someone else to do it.

    Thanks alot for helping out guys

    This is no big deal. Get WP installed and fit the Maximus template. Then you just need to adjust the color.

    I finally found a template and edited it. How does it look? Post a comment on the site if you don’t mind. And thanks ALOT for all of the help you guys have been.

    Looks cool. Nice work. Really simple to implement once you get a pointer. Welcome to WP.
