WordPress Help!

Alrighty, so I have WordPress installed and all I really have to do is read up on it – ’cause I want my very own theme (design).  Something that I create.  I’ve seen some awesome sites that folks created and well, I want one too.  This is my new home here… So I think I’ll do some research on WordPress.org through their inforamtion to see if there is something that catches my eye.  Kinda, what’s the first thing to tackle.

I think I know my colors.  There are four I’m identifying with… but not sure what it will look like.  But even more than color, design etc. is how do I want it set up?  It’s made me re-evaluate what I want from the site in itself.

I know ‘Chelle has WordPress.  Any thoughts on Theme creation?  Do you start with something and change it as you go? 

I really just wanna have a regular steady theme that I might just improve as I go, but not change too much once I find what I like.  :)

One specific question I have, that I found somewhere but cannot find again is… how to get my blog to be at www.zyriana.com, not have to choose www.zyriana.com/_wordpress.  There’s gotta be a way… ?

  • I am not sure about the specifics on changing it to your main name. The support forums on wordpress.org have been amazing for me to find answers. I did a quick search this morning but I did not come up with a definite answer for it.

    As for design. I learned by going through the classic designs (all open source so you can build up from them and it is all yours with the basic code already there).

    http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/graphicalcss/ Totally helped me get started. There are a lot of tutorials out there.

    It took me some time to learn css, and php but I am glad I did I have so much fun designing.

    Feel free to email me or comment with any specific questions (warning being pregnant with a toddler running around as well I am a little slower these days!)

    Good Luck and Have Fun with it!
