I take pride in creating my own WordPress themes from scratch. The theme on this site was created by me, as are all of the themes on my personal blog, jenn.nu. A few of my other blogs are currently sporting pre-made WordPress themes, but that’s only for the sake of convenience.
You may be interested in making your own WordPress theme, but do you know where to start? I can tell you from experience that the easiest way to learn how to make your own theme is to take the time to study existing themes and tweak them to perfection. But before you head for the nearest exit signs, you can also use various tutorials that are floating around on the internet. One such tutorial that is worth checking out can be found at eruanna.net. Her tutorial, How to write your own wordpress theme, walks you through the creation of a theme from start to finish.
Enjoy!


Thank you for this! Though I’m not new to HTML or Photopshop, I am new to WordPress. This was so so helpful! I’ve been searching for something anything on how to make your own WordPress theme.
