@HoTsTePPa – Hehe, come on man, we all need to earn a living ;)

@Rustig – Yes, tags are incredibly important. Once you learn the basic anatomy, you’ll find your way easily, there are tons of guides available, which teach the basics. Using a theme such as Sandbox or K2 would be a good starting spot..

I have noticed that it works very different from the ordinary web. I tried my hand with Coppermine Theme. It also work with tags. I had a look at a worpress theme looks very “scary”, but I am sure I will manage eventually. Nothing ventured nothing gained. I learn through reverse engineering.

@Rustig – Fortunately creating themes does not require huge understand of php or mysql, but rather a deep understanding of WordPress’s functionality and structure. Knowing what tables and fields are in the database, being able to use key tags and categories by thinking outside the box and knowing what functions WordPress has will allow you to create any theme you want. Naturally there’s a large design side as well.

@Christopher – Ye, WordPress is fantastic, big big up!

WordPress introduced me to MySQL and php about 4 years ago. No I must learn how to create themes. Cannot imagine using another platform.
