Hello, I am interested in launching my own wordpress blog in some time, probably after a month or two. I am interested in learning more about what it takes to make a custom wordpress theme. What about the languages it is coded in, please name it. How many files we have to make? I would like to know all these things so that I can make a wordpress theme myself. I know it includes many things but atleast I would be interested in knowing about it. Thanks!
For customize your WP look you need know CSS (Cascading Style Sheet). There is one single file you must work in order to do the job. This is one of the powers of CSS. Learn CSS and you are ready to go!
Ok, It seems like we only need to know CSS for doing the whole job. Where is that file, what is the name of that file we need to look in? So do others agree that CSS is the only thing we need to know. As I have seen some threads saying coded personally. What does that mean? Thanks Maujor for response!
Knowing CSS you customize de look (appearance) of your WP blog. If you want go in deep you need know HTML and PHP also. Typically the CSS file is located at root\wp-content\themes\theme name\style.css
