Anyone have or know of a current resource that would walk me through the process of creating a wordpress theme from PSD file to final coded site? Thank you
I just went through this. The easiest way is to find an existing template/style and use it as the base for what you want to create (ie. you need to modify it a fair amount, but it's faster than doing it from the ground up). On the most part it is relatively easy if you are familiar with CSS positioning and html - any template creation (for any CMS) is going to be pure hell if you don't have decent foundation in those two. My suggestions: find a free template and play with it until you have a feel for how the wordpress template system works.
There aren't many tutorials for Wordpress themes. These are about as good as you'll find: WPDesigner's Design Tutorial WPDesigner's Coding Tutorial
Thanks for the links...I had just come across these last night. I picked up part 1 and part 2 of the tutorial but for part 3 you need to subscribe to the feed which I did. However, I haven't been able to obtain this one, can't find the link to download. Would you have part 3 of the tutorial or have the link where I can download from? Here is the url where it says you need to subscribe...thx http://www.wpdesigner.com/2007/08/13/part-3-how-to-code-a-wordpress-theme/

I think I'm going to go this route...When I downloaded Wordpress, it came with two default themes, but I could have sworn that there was another popular default theme called krabrick or something like that which used to come with WP? Anyone recall the name and the official download link?

try tweaking a free template. Thats the best option. Once you do that you will soon be able to develop a good theme.
