    I have no clue how to MAKE one...

    there are so many free WP Theme's out there - never needed a custom one (yet)

    there appears to be some sites on this research link - that might be what you are looking for:

    see.. as far as i know.. u can build a template in .css format... but better option will be to check in the templates available with wordpress or blogger etc.. they have pretty decent templtaes... what u can do is.. they give an option for "HTML editing" of the template..

    u can try out a few corrections there and make that particular template look unique!!!

    this will be a less tedious job i feel!

    Or you could get a theme that is already coded, and change it to make it unique.

    in order to create a unique theme for WordPress you need to have intermediate knowledge of XHTML, and CSS, and a working knowledge of PHP.

    when I first started creating WordPress themes I took apart the Urban Giraffe theme and re-made it to suit me...after that I became more confident and started creating themes from scratch. Like everything else it takes time and patience, but it's worth it

    If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me. I'd be happy to help
