Wordpress Theme Generator: There used to be some very good ones out there but they seem to have dropped out of favor. This new one offers such conveniences as instant previews, lots of layout, color and gradient settings, custom header graphics and download of individual files as well as a neatly packaged zip. This could be a good starting point for Wordpress bloggers who want to play around with colors and layout and do not want to muddy their hands with code. I like the instant gratification and appreciate Yvo’s hard work.

  17. By chance, I came up with my own way to create an entirely new, almost minimalist theme. Put simply, I somehow didn’t FTP up the images folder for my chosen theme, couldn’t figure out why it looked so bare bones, until I checked the logs and spotted all these 404 errors for images. But, by that point, I’d grown quite fond of minimalism and rather than doing the image upload I simply removed the references to the gifs and jpegs from the CSS. Works for me.

  44. This is really great to test out different color combinations. Many times this is something can make the difference between a good theme or a great one. Many thinks for sharing your work and helping us to develop better themes.

  45. I created a theme and downloaded the zip file, extracted, uploaded to my themes folder. When I went into the Theme Editor, it came back as a Broken Template, saying that the Stylesheet is missing. I am really new at creating my own themes, but I looked at the list of files in the folder and sure enough, there isn’t a Stylesheet. What did I do wrong?
