In the previous post in this sub-series, we learned how to start displaying content on our Wordpress blog. Today, we will start working with individual posts and pages.
To start off, we will first need to split our template into several sub-template files. These contain different parts of the template, such as the header, footer and sidebar.
In the previous part of this sub-series, we started taking the first few steps to creating a Wordpress theme from a Gimp .xcf design.
Today, we will be looking at using multiple loops in our Wordpress theme to separate featured (sticky) posts from regular posts on the home page of the site.
Last week, we created an HTML/CSS template from a Gimp .xcf file. Today, we will get started with converting it into a Wordpress theme. This is sort of a sub-series, because you can follow similar instructions for a different template, but we will be using the one we created last week.
Today, we will just get started with a few basic things to get started with this theme.
Last week, I posted a tutorial on creating a website design with Gimp. Today, we will be converting that design to an HTML/CSS design.
If you do a Google search for Photoshop web design tutorial, you will get about 107,000,000 results. It seems to me that there are not enough Gimp tutorials. So, I decided to put together my own.
Today, we will be creating a simple blog and portfolio design, using Gimp. By simple, I mean that you can create this using only the Rectangle Select Tool, Bucket Fill Tool, Blend Tool, Paths Tool, Text Tool, and a couple of others.
Next week, we will be converting our design into HTML and CSS, so that we will be able to make a Wordpress theme out of it.
