PowWow2

Here is the link to the notes from PowWow1, which was a big, quick overview of a range of topics and resources.

For those of you interested in turning your website designs into WordPress themes, that’s one of our feature topics for this week (and probably will continue for the next few weeks).

The recommended assignment for this meeting: View the following series of three VIDEO tutorials on building a WordPress theme. They are very good, and free!

Designing For WordPress, by Chris Coyier, at CSS-Tricks.com

1. Part One — 16 min.
2. Part Two — 53 min.
3. Part Three — 59 min.

If you’ll come having viewed these, we can talk through any questions you may have and then compare theme frameworks to see the pros and cons of starting with each. Chris Coyier (author of the above video tutorials, prefers Starkers framework), but there are more robust options. I am especially interested in these.

Theme Framework Options for Comparison and Contrast

1. Carrington
2. Thematic

Reviewing notes and comparing these frameworks will be one key focus of our next meeting.

Let me know if you have other recommendations. This page is open to revision!
