Welcome to Paper Duck Greetings! Just brushing off the dust here… finished installing the WordPress software and decorated it with my very own custom theme called “Paper Duck Theme”, naturally. I had to make my site look consistent so I went on an odyessy to learn how to make my own theme. It lead me to this site: So you want to create WordPress themes huh?

This is an excellent tutorial and I went through each step and did exactly as he said to do. I learned to modify his base files and added on my design elements. It took some time, but, it was worth it!

There is one bug (or is it just the feature ??), however. The links on my header and footer are broken when you go to the individual posts and comments pages. I’ll have to investigate this soon…

UPDATE: solved the “bug” which was neither bug nor feature. I just had to change the path in the links to point to the root… oops.
