Wordpress

[Ik]

I just installed Wordpress on my local machine. No experience yet.

My question is, how easy or difficult is it to plug my own XHTML/CSS design into a Wordpress site?

Thanks

Making small changes to the current theme shouldn't be that tough at all if you're familiar with HTML and CSS - but it would be a good idea to learn the basics of PHP.

You can easily edit your theme by opening the theme folder and making your changes there directly or you also have the options of making the changes via your Wordpress Admin Area.

If you're wanting to learn how to make your own design / theme for wordpress you can start from here Theme Development « WordPress Codex

remember to make backup copies as you go along. sometimes the code we put in doesn't do what we thought it does. :blink:

not very difficult, you just need to learn wordpress basics and you will be ready to go. Refer wordpress docs for this.

Piece of cake!

I just sliced a PSD layout and plugged it into Wordpress

it took me 6 hours to slice a PSD file and convert it to a Wordpress theme.
