    Hi all

    Just a quick question - there are many people creating WordPress templates, but can anyone point me to the source of these "raw" ones to build on? What are the rights and overall rules in the WP template creation?

    Any info would be appreciated,

    thank you

    Sandy

    Hi Sandy,

    In wordpress community they are called 'themes' instead of templates...now
    you can search ton of sources for ...How to Create wordpress theme....

    Well i suggest you go with default theme which comes in Wordpress, and
    change the CSS file, header.php, index.php.... i mean play with the code inside
    it to customize...also study the code inside it..you will see it is very easy
    to create your own theme...

    Maybe you should check this resource and then from there you will find more links:

    Have a nice day!

    Kubrick, the default theme, is made with the intention to edit it. It is the basis of most themes, while many themes are now made from themes that were clever hacks of kubrick. Just grab any old theme and edit it.

    For example, here you see http://brishare.com uses the blogsimplified theme (looks exactly like default twitter) and I have edited it greatly.

    The original theme is your best bet to start with. If you don't have much HTML knowledge you can use free templates from sites like free-css.com.
