WordPress seemed hard and scary the first time I tried to set it up, and I gave up. I got stuck many times during the installation process, and I felt like I didn’t have much control of it – I thought I had to use someone else’s theme and modify it. <\/p>\n
I wanted to know how I could design my OWN website, but have a blogging back end. I knew it was possible on WordPress, but how? Once I figured it out, I realized how incredibly simple it is. I wanted to make the definitive guide so that other people didn’t have to struggle to piece it together. So I did.<\/p>\n
Here’s that guide: https:\/\/www.taniarascia.com\/developing-a-wordpress-theme-from-scratch\/<\/p>\n
Here’s a few comments on the post:<\/p>\n

“Your tutorial was very helpful to get a starting point and I am confident, that I will be able to develop my own theme now.”<\/p>\n
“Thanks for the fantastic tutorial! You have a very clear style of teaching!”<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m a newbie to WordPress. I\u2019ve been looking for resources to help me understand and implement my own theme. This is certainly one of the best tutorials I\u2019ve visited! ”<\/p>\n
” Within about four hours, I was able to get to the end of the tutorial and feel extremely confident going ahead and creating websites in this way with WordPress. For that, I am extremely grateful!”<\/p>\n
“This is hands down the best WordPress tutorial I\u2019ve ever seen. Just wanted to send a little gratitude your way!”<\/p>\n
And so on.<\/p>\n

I was able to get Google to notice me and put me to the top of the search results, so I’m happy I’ve been able to help out so many people. I’d love to help out even more by speaking on custom themes!<\/p>\n
