My First WordPress Theme

Themes

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!
