Editorial Review: Product Description: Expert guidance on designing a great theme for one of the most popular, open-source blog systems available for the Web today! This book can be used by WordPress users or visual designers (with no server-side scripting or programming experience) who are used to working with the common industry-standard tools like PhotoShop and Dreamweaver or other popular graphic, HTML, and text editors. Regardless of your web development skill-set or level, you'll be walked through the clear, step-by-step instructions, but familiarity with a broad range of web development skills and WordPress know-how will allow you to gain maximum benefit from this book. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - All the information with too much chat*WordPress: Theme Design* has a lot of very useful information, but you have to wade through an awful lot of the Tessa Blakely Silver's opinions and her obvious irritation with her clients in order to get to it. It would benefit from a layout in which her side comments were kept on the sidelines (so you could skip them). If you are looking for a beginning book on CSS, you would do better to look at *Stylin' for the Web*, by Charles Wyke-Smith and just skip the CSS section here. As for ... Read More Rating:  - Useful but not authoritative...I really like many aspects of this book: the conversational style, the obvious knowledge of the author. But it goes against many of the principles of CSS that I have followed for years. For example, it suggests sizing fonts with pixels. The book also gives you some vanilla page layout techniques but doesn't give you the details of how to make sure that they work. If layouts don't work, you're stuck with cookie cutter ideas and no troubleshooting advice. I'm back to searching ... Read More Rating: - Good for beginners: Review by Tod McKenna of blog.todmeansfox.comWell written. Good tips. Too short. Not a reference book. Hardly a "complete" guide. I found most of the book to be fairly basic, but I am experienced in designing standards-compliant sites using the tools and technologies Tessa uses (PHP, CSS, XHTML, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, etc..). I suspect that others with similar backgrounds would find this book not so helpful. For those just starting with CSS and XHTML, this book would be a good starting point though. It is filled with good advice (the ... Read More Rating:  - Good Book. A must for themingI think this is a very good book, because it is the only book on theme design for WordPress. I used it together with the DVD "How to Theme WordPress" by Aleks Monahan. The topic is very hard to find practical and organized information on, so I'm very glad I found those 2 resources. The book takes longer to read and go through, so I switched from the book to the DVD to get a boost in speed, because the DVD was much easier to watch. The DVD takes 2 hours to go through, and I felt confident afterwards to go ... Read More Rating: - WordPress Theme Design is a winner.I am pretty impressed with this book. It is easy to read and follow. I have been working with WordPress for quite a while and developed several plugins. I bought this book to help me with Theme Design which I hadn't done previously. I was a bit surprised to find quite a few things I didn't know about WordPress itself in addition to an excellent explanation on theme design and how themes work in the context of WordPress. This book isn't magic though - designing a theme for WordPress still ... Read More
