Theme Like a Professional!
Managing web content has always been tricky, but with WordPress, any web designer can have a flexible, free and powerful CMS to use not just on blogging projects, but on all sorts of websites. In How To Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer you will learn step by step how to take a straight HTML site and power it with WordPress.
During the course of the book you'll build THREE WordPress themes, a blog, a portfolio site and a general site with menus and submenus. Each theme demonstrates different aspects of WordPress theming and all three are packaged in with the book so you'll have Photoshop, HTML, CSS and WordPress PHP files to refer to. You can take a look at the three sites online here:

Updated for WordPress 3.0: How to Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer has been updated for the latest release of WordPress and includes a section on Navigation Menus!
Who is This Book For?
The book is aimed at anyone with a solid understanding of HTML/CSS. You don't need to know PHP, you don't need to have ever even touched WordPress before. The examples begin from scratch and build on each other, while basic PHP principles that are used are explained in an easy to understand manner.
If you've ever wanted to get started with WordPress theming, or you're looking to take your skills to the next level with advanced theming concepts, this is the book for you!
