How Hard Could It Be? Oh yeah, famous last words. BUT – I’m actually in the midst of creating FROM SCRATCH my own WordPress template.
I know, hold the giggles.
I installed WordPress on my local machine and I’m in the design phase right now. Then… well, then I have to cut it up into WordPress correct files… then, well… okay, there is SO much more than that. BUT I have a trusty dusty book that I got. I’m leaning on that quite a bit!
Okay, I have a few books that I’m using, but this one in particular has been very helpful.
Hopefully I can get this going. Don’t worry, I won’t upload the derned thingy until I know it works. 
Well, mostly works anyway…

Make sure you check out WordPress.org They are in the process of upgrading WordPress to a new version and have some additions to the old theme template.
I have designed a few themes from scratch and it is so awesome once you get it
Good luck.

That’s funny. I’m actually working on a redesign for mine too. The only book that I have though is “WordPress for Dummies”. I understand most of it, the hardest part for me, so far, has been color scheme, header design, etc.

I give ya tons of credit for trying. I’ve thought of changing mine,but I’m afraid I’d mess up and lose the whole thing in the process.

Good luck on your WordPress template. It really isn’t very hard, but you do need to get the hang of it so good luck and I’m sure you’ll do fine; you sound determined!
Heyas! Best of luck with your design, I look forward to check it out.

@chelle: I’ve been on WordPress.org and with the new version coming out, I’m scared to upgrade anyway. BUT – we’ll see how this all goes. It may be all for not, but sounds like fun.
Or hair pulling… one or the other!!

@Penny: Yeah, I’m not that good at the graphics part either. I’m doing a bit of work while I can, we’ll see if it even gets up this year! LOL I should get that “For Dummies” book.
Thanks for coming through!!
@thinkinfyou: Hiya honey! Are you on WordPress?
Your fear is about what I have as well… but I bet once we get it it would be good!!
@Woman Tribune: Aw, thank you! I’m thinking my learning curve should be interesting. LOL I can’t wait to manipulate my site the way I wanna do it… templates just don’t do it for me.
@Øyvind: Thank you!!! So good to see you again!
We’ll see how long this takes. LOL
Oh this is so exciting! I can’t wait to see your finished product. Good luck pretty lady!

Wow! that’s nice to hear Mon, I’m thinking of designing my very own too, when I got the time. Good luck! I’m looking forward to seeing you work. And thank you so much for checking me out, I don’t get to do much online for the past few weeks because I’m on medication in preparation for my heart surgery this coming second week of December. I pray that you and your family are well too, sending light your way!
xoxo

If you need any help, feel free to ask!
I find designing from scratch pretty hard. I usually take a basic temple and tweak, do the graphics etc.
Zhus last blog post..Only In France…
@Zhu: I think I’m settling back to exactly that. Revelotion 2 is out open source now by Brian Gardner. It’s very well done… framework is good, and the changing of CSS and graphics is okay by me.
I think I’ll keep with a template like that and change it to what I’d like… I don’t really see the need to redo what so many others have perfected I suppose. I just want something that is mine though, not out of the box. THANK you for your offer of assistance!
