Tips and Tricks for Drupal Theming: 90 Minute Tutorial

The Drupal theme system is incredibly flexible and powerful - allowing "themers" to completely control the entire look and feel of your website. Mastering Drupal theming is the key to giving your website it's own unique, polished appearance. In this webcast, we'll watch the process of taking an HTML and CSS mockup of a website and turning it into a fully functional Drupal theme. Learn how to make your Drupal site match your organizational needs. What will we cover?
  • How to approach a Drupal theme
  • Creating a theme from a pure HTML/CSS design
  • Working with template files
  • The Drupal theme system and how it works

hi
i dont know if this is good place to comment or not .. i followed all steps done by james but still I am stuck at a point where we rename our index.html to page.tpl.php this doesn't works the way it works at yours. It simply shows up the drupal content not the html content. I tried this on drupal 5 .. it works .. but how can i do it further ??

help !

Is there any way I can get final code/files for the last section of the tutorial? The "Julia Childs" part? I wasn't able to follow the finished tpl.php files and would like to have a reference.

Thanks a lot - very helpful tutorial.
