Screencast #73: Building a Website (3 of 3): WordPress Theme

In part 3 of this series, we take the HTML and CSS that we have already created for this design, and convert it into a WordPress theme. We start with a completely “blank” WordPress theme, then take different parts of the HTML and put them where they need to be in the theme. We are careful to keep as much dynamic WordPress stuff in there as possible, for example, dynamically creating the menu, loading jQuery the smart way, and more. Recorded Oct 1, 2009.

    quite some time.

  2. Cool video. A heads up, though, some of the things are outdated, for
    example since version 3 of wordpress (as far as I remember) it has become a
    lot easier to manage the menus.

  3. Great series! Chris, I noticed that Starkers hasn’t been updated since
    2010, is there something better now?

    a sample video from the training course on my channel. check it out.
