Tung Do also known as Small Potato seems to be slowly coming back to the WordPress community. For those who don’t know him, he was very respected by the community as the founder of WPdesigner.com which is now dead. I don’t know what his plans are, but he’s definitely designing again and you can find some of his new work at his personal blog.
I learned a lot from his blog and one particular series of posts that helped me a lot was called “So you want to create WordPress themes huh?” However, since this series was written more than 2 years ago, Ian Stewart from ThemeShaper.com felt the need to create a new series teaching how to create a WordPress theme. So, if you always wanted to create your own WordPress theme and didn’t know how to, go check this series out!
One last topic that I want to talk about in this post is the redesign of this blog. As you can see, I’ve designed a child theme using the Thematic theme framework created by Ian who I’ve mentioned earlier. I actually wanted to create my own theme again at first, but after I played around with Thematic for a few weeks, I just decided to design a child theme and I’m happy with the result. Hopefully with the redesign, it’ll be a new start and I’ll be updating the blog regularly.
By the way, feedback on the redesign is appreciated. It could be constructive criticism, tips, or whatever you want to talk about it. I think they will all make me a better designer, so they are all welcome.
