Since I am doing pretty well this month with my income I have been taking it somewhat easy. I was in search of a new WordPress theme to use for a few more niche sites and thought I should just design my own. So that is what I am setting off to do. I started out on Google and found a great site about creating your own WordPress theme.
Once I get a few of these setup and running I think I might release a few themes to my readers to use if you want. The way I see it so far the bulk of the files are going to be the same and I will be doing most of my modifications to graphics and css files. Most of the php files will be static for the most part once I set them up the way I want.
I figure that if I am using WordPress to make money with EPN then I should know as much about WordPress as I can. I want to expand my knowledge level of WordPress this month and become somewhat of a guru. Then I plan to make my best niche site yet with all the bells and whistles. Some areas that I am currently lacking in are 404′s, expired auctions in posts and duplicate content.
Now having said all that I don’t want to spend all my time making it look pretty. A pretty site is not going to make me more money then a dull looking one. I just want to expand on what I already have with some better looks and more functionality in the lacking areas.
I am calling it a night and will pickup tomorrow evening where I left off with my first WordPress theme from scratch.

Good Luck. I’ve had one going that I haven’t touched in a long time. What I did was use an already free CSS template and then incorporate WordPress.
Thanks man! You make it sound like it will be really hard… LOL… I am probably going to use that silhouette graphic idea that you used on some of your sites. I really liked that. As long as you don’t mind, that is!
Let me know if you need help. Photoshop is my thing.
