A colleague of mine has asked me to work with him redesigning his WordPress blog so I thought it was  about time I tried my first WordPress theme.

As a starting point I thought I would use the CSS from this site and see if I could get WordPress to feel completely integrated into the style of https://www.jonwitts.co.uk . I think I have meet that aim without any issues, however in doing this first theme I have begun to realise quite how powerful a theme engine WordPress really has!

This theme is only the start and it has so much more that needs to be done; but at least I know I can turn a standard XHTML/CSS page into a WordPress theme without too much difficulty. Now all I have to do is work my way through all the functions that I have available to me and understand what they all do!
