The Project
Description:
Create a website where people can browse and download both Wordpress and Google Blogger powered templates. I will create some of my own templates as well as upload templates created by other individuals. I will make to sure give the author(s) full credit for their creations before uploading their template source code.
Features:
- The website will be powered by Wordpress and I will create a screenshot/thumbnail for each template.
- If possible, each template will have a demo, where users can test the template before downloading.
- Users will be able to comment and discuss each individual template.
Goals
Host/Register a Domain Name:
I will do some research and find a reliable and cost efficient hosting company.
Install WordPress 2.8.4: I will use FileZilla 0.9.33 to upload the latest version of WordPress.
I will read online instructions which explain how to manually install wordpress.
Design a WordPress Template for my New Site:
I will do some research and look for tutorials on how to create my own wordpress theme. The Layout needs to be simple and easy to navigate.
Create Templates for Download:
I will start creating my own collection of templates for others to download. Both Wordpress powered templates and Blogger powered templates.
Resources/Tools for creating templates:
- Gimp 2.6
- Adobe PhotoShop CS3

Upload Other Templates:
I will find other free templates by various artists and upload their source code to my site. I will make sure to give the author(s) full credit by creating a link to their site.
