I'm currently building the html and css for a wordpress theme, I'm wondering if anyone here could help me then use the html and css to make it work with wordpress? I've spent some time today looking through a few tutorials but they don't seem to fill the gaps of the things I want this theme to do.

Here is a small look at what the theme style is like, interested? Let me know...

Hey,
Simple thing is to look at how the free themes that already come with Wordpress work.

Most are split into include different files eg. Header.php, sidebar.php, footer.php and so on.

So when you have the HTML code it needs splitting up into the right files.

There are other files such as the functions.php file. Some themes have lots of files whereas some are more basic.

Cheers,
Phil
