Customizing a Theme
Customising a theme, at least the theme I chose, is about as easy as I thought it’d be. Which is to say, omg, help!
I’ve gotten a few things right. Did get a subscription box in the sidebar, for instance.
I’ve messed up the majority. I’ve got the basic functions of WordPress so messed up I can no longer add a widget from the administration panel.
The wonderful drop-down menu in the aforementioned theme also seems to be beyond my reach at this point. If I enable it, the whole of my page disappears except for the header.
I’ll be at the drawing board awhile.
To save wear and tear on my chosen “Liquid Elastic SEO” theme, I’ve decided to build my own theme based on that theme and install it. Then at least I can switch back to the Liquid theme and it won’t be too mucked up, hopefully.
Where to start? I guess I’ll have to figure out how to work on a WordPress theme locally on my own machine. I wanna tell you all this “easy” stuff sure is hard on an ol’ lady.
