How to Design WordPress Themes Lesson One

I am big fan of wordpress as a CMS but at the same time was wasting a lot of time to find a wordpress them of my choice. Then I decided to make some of my own wordpress themes.

Now here I am sharing with all how to design a wordpress them in a series of lessons.

This first lesson will try to cover a) Some Basic Rules and introduction of different terms 2nd lesson will be on Wordpress structure and hierachy

Basic Rulles

1. Like with every scripting luanguge whenever you open something in a tag please close it properly like <ul> <li> </li> </ul>

2. There should be minimum of two theme files which are essentially required for any theme to work 1. style.css and index.php

3. Creat a new theme folder which should be in a folder ./wp-content/theme

4. You should also know the list of files that can be used with a theme like

• style.css
• index.php
• home.php
• single.php
• page.php
• archive.php
• category.php
• search.php
• 404.php
• comments.php
• comments-popup.php
• author.php
• date.php

right now just look at these file names and i will dicsuss their usuage and details later.

Wordpress terms:

• Template - A set of codes that you can use in multiple places without having to write the same codes again and again.
• Template file - A file that contain one or
  multiple sets of codes (templates). Every page is made up of multiple
  template files. For example: index.php file, style.css file,
  sidebar.php, etc.
• Theme or WordPress theme - All the files you’re
  using: texts, images, codes, etc. Note: WordPress theme and WordPress
  template(s) are two different things, despite some people consider them
  the same.
• Post - Currently, you are reading a post. Furthermore, it’s simply an entry of your blog. In example, one page of a diary.
• Page - A special type of post that is not
  orangized by categories. It is separate from the rest of your posts.
  Note: In WordPress, page and Page are two different things. Whether you
  capitalize the “P” makes a huge difference.

Hierarchy:

I will disscuss this in my next lesson.

No Privacy on Phone and internet

In Netherlands Telephone companies and internet service providers will have to keep details of every phone call, email, text message and online chat made in the Netherlands for a year under new anti-terrorism measures. MPs agreed on Thursday night that police and the security services will be able to ask for the information as part of investigations into terrorism or other serious crime. The rules stem from a European Union directive and should have been introduced in the Netherlands two years ago. The coalition Labour party (PvdA) voted against the plan.
