TUT: Skinning Wordpress 1.5
To make a new skin for Wordpress you first need to create a directory in yourdomain.com/blog/wp-content/themes/SKIN_NAME_HERE Wordpress basicly needs only 4 files for the skin to operate right; header.php, index.php, and footer.php. header.php is all the stuff that you want in the header, index.php is where the content goes, footer.php is where all the stuff on bottom goes, and style.css is where all your CSS goes. (If you are not familiar with php inclusions I suggest you do some research on it). After your are done making your layout then all you need to do is upload it to the directory you made. After you uploaded it, then in the admin control panel click on Presentation and you will see a list of themes. Click on "Select" to change the current layout to your theme that you just made. If you need to see and example of header.php, index.php, footer.php then see the following. header.php CODE <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title> <style type="text/css">@import url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>");</style> <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/nicetitle.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/comment.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/nicetitle.css"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> </head> <body> <div id="box"> <div id="top"> <h2> <a href="http://tom.x-monzter.com/blog/wp-login.php">Login</a> · <a href="http://tom.x-monzter.com/blog/wp-register.php">Register</a> · <a href="http://tom.x-monzter.com/blog/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword">Lost your password?</a> </h2> </div> <div id="left"> <h2><b>navagation</b></h2> <ul> <li class="page_item"><a href="http://tom.x-monzter.com/blog/"><b>00.</b> blog</a> </li> <li class="page_item"><a href="http://tom.x-monzter.com/blog/?page_id=86"><b>01.</b> resume</a> </li> <li class="page_item"><a href="http://tom.x-monzter.com/blog/?page_id=87"><b>02.</b> game stats</a> </li> <li class="page_item"><a href="http://tom.x-monzter.com/blog/gallery"><b>03.</b> gallery</a> </li> <li class="page_item"><a href="http://tom.x-monzter.com/blog/index.php?cat=4"><b>04.</b> friends blog</a> </li> </ul> </div> index.php CODE <?php get_header(); ?> <div id="content"> <h2><b>blog</b>content</h2> <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <div id="post"> <h1><b><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></b> » <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> · <?php the_author_nickname(); ?></h1> <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?> <p><?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p> </div> <?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?> <?php endwhile; ?> <div style="text-align:center;"> <?php posts_nav_link(' · ', 'previous page', 'next page'); ?> </div> <?php else : ?> <h2 class="center">Not Found</h2> <p class="center"><?php _e("Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here."); ?></p> <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH .
