Some of my friends ask me to create a tutorial on How to Create a WordPress Theme, so I did a couple of searches and trying to find out what will be the competition for such post. Then I figured out that those past tutorials are really good, why not round them up into a new post? After all these guys did a pretty good job about this topic and creating a new one won’t make it to the top page in SERP anyway.
I also check my bookmarks to include them into the list, these guys helped me a lot when I was learning about WordPress. If you wanted to learn how to make wordpress theming, you should check them out!

And don’t forget to learn the basics first, remember that “you cannot conquer the world in one day”. Newbies often are eager to learn everything, that you are wasting too much time on nothing. Learn the steps and have the patience to do it right, never jump onto something beyond your grasp.
