Sunflower

I'm done tinkering with WordPress themes, at least for a few days, and I've finished my first theme.  It's got a sunflower header image from stock.xchg, a background from Squid Fingers, and a whole lot of CSS.  Adding a screenshot image makes life easier when picking a theme to use.  If it looks odd in your browser, please drop me a comment and tell me which browser you're using.  I tested it with Firefox and Safari on the Mac, and IE6 on WinXP.

If you're thinking of designing a theme, it helps not to start from scratch.  I used the blank theme from Miklb, which is the WP1.5 default theme stripped of all the style information.  The files I modified were:

• archive.php
• comments.php
• header.php
• index.php
• search.php
• searchform.php
• sidebar.php
• single.php
• style.css

The theme required a lot of small changes, scattered all over the place.  Hubby was a huge help in getting it to work and taming the categories drop down.  I'm not entering it in the Wordpress 2.0 themes contest because I wanted a unique theme for myself, but I love seeing what people can do.
