Packing this theme up

Tagged: ,

So after what was an endless month of playing Fallout 3, I’m embarking on my next project: packing up my current design into a theme that regular folk can use. It’s hard work, my hat is off to those brave women and men that make Wordpress themes for others to use.

Here’s what I need to do:

  • Redesign the footer so it works with a longer blog title
  • Update the header so it can take a custom image or just display text
  • Add support for categories
  • Add styling for some default widgets (text, archives, links, tag cloud, etc.)
  • Add admin page with customizable theme options

It’s far easier to hardcode everything and know exactly what things I want to display. It’s pretty hard to make things more generic to please everyone.

More?
