My First WordPress Theme

Posted on: Thursday, January 24th, 2008 | Written by Wakish

As most of you have noticed I haven’t produced any articles recently, the reason being that I’m investing time to design my own wordpress theme for my blog. The theme you are viewing right now is actually the new theme and is the very first ever wordpress theme I’m coding/designing. It still needs some more work and refinement.

One of the biggest issue that I’m having with the design is “cross-browser compatibility”; meaning that “what looks good in Firefox might look different in Internet Explorer”..etc

I have been asking for advice concerning this issue with several designers and pro wordpress designers, but sadly these people seem to be silently “selfish” or perhaps they consider themselves to be too much of a “pro” to give a bit of advice? It is so shameless and sad to see that very few people are sincerely willing to help others these days.

But I would like to convey my sincere thanks to members and friends, from the different communities I’m indulged in, who are helping me with feedbacks and advice. You guys rock! (I will give a complete list of those helpful guys when I’m done with the design ;) )

I would like you to please give me some feedback about this theme if possible, with particular details of the browser and resolution you used and the appearance of my theme.
Also any advice will be helpful since this theme is still in “Beta” - I’m still tweaking it.

Hope to hear your feedback, advice and comments..

    I like it overall. The one thing I would change is the top. The posts don’t start until the bottom of the screen, so I think you should remove the top posts sections across the top. Maybe you could put those at the bottom, or make a third column.

    Good job!

    Wow, Wakish, you’ve done a marvellous theme. I am happy with the design. Am sorry I can’t help you with the technical issues, I’m not an IT man, you know.

    One thing I’d advise you: don’t give up. No help from those you’ve been relying upon doesn’t mean the end of the world. Perseverance, audaciousness and persistence make things happen. You have the potential and the “spirit to achieve”. This makes of you a winner. Winners look forward. Winners think positive. Don’t let the first obstacle dominate your will power. Don’t be afraid if you don’t get it right once. Failure leads to success. Remember the following:

    “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
    – Michael Jordan

    “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”
    – Albert Einstein

    Good luck.

    Thanks for dropping in and for your feedback.. much appreciated!

    About the design, sorry at the present time it’s supposed to be my “unique” custom theme. But I will be releasing some variations of this theme in future. So keep being around ;)
