HTML 2 WordPress 3.0 theme sneak peeks

It’s been about 9 months since I’ve uploaded the WordPress theming tutorial screencast series HTML 2 WordPress. Thanks everybody for all the positive comments. Quite a few of you said you would like to see the series expanded. Well, I’m happy to say that I’ll be working with Jeffery McManus from CodeLesson.com in doing just that. In the new instructor-led HTML 2 WordPress 3.0 course (officially named Developing WordPress Themes), we’ll be converting a HTML & CSS-based website layout design into a WordPress theme including some of the newest features available on WordPress 3.0 like the custom menu, custom post type and taxonomy. Check out the course here!

Here’s a first peek of the theme we’ll be creating in the course:
