We\u2019ll start with the overview \u2013 what is a theme, what is CSS, and what are rules, elements, properties and values. (Hint: they\u2019re the code that tells browsers what your website should look like). We\u2019ll also go into ID\u2019s and Classes and the basics of how to use them.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Once we know what CSS is and what it does, we\u2019ll learn where to find it in your WordPress dashboard and on the server using your FTP client. We\u2019ll learn how to edit the CSS file, and more importantly \u2013 before we do any editing \u2013 how to back up the CSS file. We\u2019ll also learn about some useful tools (text editors, FTP clients, Firebug, color pickers) that will help us determine and execute the changes we want to make.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll go into the standard WordPress Twenty Eleven theme and make changes to images, fonts and colors so that the original theme is unrecognizable (in a good way!). If we have time, we may introduce a very cool WordPress plugin that allows you to load your Facebook page into a sidebar or other area of your website.<\/p>\n<p>A basic understanding of HTML will be helpful but not necessary to benefit from this workshop.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/2012.albuquerque.wordcamp.org\/session\/make-your-wordpress-theme-your-very-own\/\">WordCamp Session<\/a>\u00bb | <a href=\"https:\/\/2012.albuquerque.wordcamp.org\/speakers\/#max-bloom\">Speaker Profile<\/a>\u00bb | <a href=\"http:\/\/groundfloorsv.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Speaker Website<\/a>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guest Post by WordCamp Albuquerque Speaker Max Bloom In this workshop, we\u2019ll discuss what defines a WordPress theme and how you can redefine that theme to reflect your own style.
