    I'm in need of a good website or e-book, preferably free, that will breakdown wordpress coding. Currently, I have a template in wordpress that I really like, but I want to do a couple of changes so that it will appeal better to my visitorsand work better with Adsense. Basically, I want to make the sidebar larger and few other things so it's be resembles what most people would call an Adsense Ready Template. Can anyone help? The template that I'm referring to is the first link in my sig.:cool:

    This looks pretty good
    http://www.wpdesigner.com/2007/08/08/how-to-design-a-wordpress-theme/

    Or if you want to get a book then you could try this one.
    http://www.packtpub.com/wordpress-theme-design/book/

    You might also like to have a look at this

    I am very new to wordpress, but what I do is open up some of the files from one that I downloaded, and start playing around. Start with the style sheet. May I recommend intype for text editing, and fling ftp for automatic uploading when ever a change is detected.

    The link to WPDesigner is real good. It covers enough material if you are looking to build a theme from the ground up. Takes about 4 hours or so to complete but time well spent.
