Hi, how many of you have felt the need to create a new wordpress template/theme and felt that the structure is too intimidating? We had the same feeling too until we realised how easy it is to create a wordpress template. A few things before you need a template are: 1. Figure out the layout of your blog. That is, you should be clear about what should be placed where. Ofcourse, it’s entirely at your discretion. 2. Create a simple HTML page that show cases your layout. 3. Mould the simple page into a beautiful wordpress template. Ready?? Ok, let’s start! As said in point 1, I have just created a basic layout as shown in the screen shot below. You can definitely tell about the various sections that make up the page. They are the header, content, sidebar, footer. To abstract this and give power to the template designers, wordpress has placed the various sections into different pages. In addition to this, you have to add proper CSS to your design. Include them in “style.cssâ€. Therefore, the files necessary are: 1. header.php -> Header 2. footer.php -> Footer 3. sidebar.php -> Sidebar 4. index.php -> Content glued with header, sidebar and footer. 5. style.css -> CSS That is all you need to create a basic template.
