Template design part 3
I’ve got something pretty major holding me back from developing my own stylesheet: I’m not familiar with the WordPress templates.
When I create a website, I’ve usually written 80% of the HTML and then applied a stylesheet. The other 20% of the HTML is all the widget parts that come later. With WordPress, I’m approaching the templates from scratch and there’s already a big mess of HTML in place, all with someone else’s IDs and class names.
So I’ll take a few steps back and delay things a bit more (procrastinating much?). The next step is to go all the way from scratch to figure out the template system as a whole - not just fudge someone else’s stylesheet to claim a theme to be my own.
Moral of the story: don’t write CSS without your socks on.
