    Hi guys, i'm contemplating adding Wordpress to a site i'm doing to act as a miniture CMS. How easy is it to create a template for Wordpress, i'm going to be intergrating it with a site that i have 60% done and so only really need to create a bare-bones template. Something that fills a single column.
    Has anybody had any experience of doing this?

    It's fairly easy if you find one that looks sort of like how you want your to look :)

    Just hack it until it looks right! Not too difficult. I've resurrected mine just as an example of a hacked up version of the default template. I ended up going with writing my own content management system in the end, but I guess it would have been easier in practice to devote time to making a template for Wordpress.

    i've found one or two that would seem to do the job for me alright. Does anyone know if there is a wordpress template software out there to create your own blog from scratch. Something similar to the addon you can get for Dreamweaver that Mambo uses? That would be sweet! :)
