How to create WordPress Theme
As of Everybody me too is think of this topic for a long time and tried lots of steps to create one for myself and finally i made it today
i make it on my local machinf before going for any web server hosting , you too i prefer to load on local machine and then go for uploading,Word press is one of the most leading personal Publishing platform having comparetively simple Function Set, here in  this article  difference lies where  modules are coded in pure HTML tabular mode apart from Divs and Stylesheets , and later on we ll go for that kind of Markup codes
Requirements
1. WordPress installation so as
http://localhost/wordpress/
Now we need to create our first theme, say theme1
Files needed here
- header.php
- sidebar.php
- footer.php
- index.php
- functions.php
- screenshot.png
- style.css
all php files are for functioning, CSS for because WordPress need it for theme initialization,Screenshot.png is the theme screen snap on installation Screen
Now Start with Creation
Header ; header.php
<html>
<head>
<title>meabi tutorial</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id=”wrapper”>
<div id=”header”>
<h1><a href=”<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></a></h1>
</div>
Here under lined portion is the only line consuming WordPress Functions
You may see the Entire WordPress Functions From here  Function Reference , this is the Header Portion
Now its turn of Sidebar.php
here i am dealing with widgetised side bar , For this 1 more file is needed termed functions.php
<?php
if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )
register_sidebar();
?>
sidebar.php looks like
<ul id=”sidebar”>
<?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’)
|| !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
<li id=”about”>
<h2>wordpress1</h2>
<p>This is my blog.</p>
</li>
<li id=”links”>
<h2>Links</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href=”http://google.com”>google</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
footer.php
<div id=”footer”>
<h1>footer text (run from footer.php)</h1>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This too is a normal file nothing calledhere any how you may call from wordpress functions,Now we need to club all these to a single file index.php, i m using pure HTML Code here
ie. a table having 3 rows and 2 columns to the second row
code is here
<html>
<head>
<meta content=”text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1″
http-equiv=”content-type”>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<table style=”text-align: left; width: 100%;” border=”1″ cellpadding=”2″
cellspacing=”2″>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td colspan=”2″ rowspan=”1″ style=”vertical-align: top;”><?php get_header(); ?><br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style=”vertical-align: top;”><?php if (have_posts()) :while (have_posts()) : the_post();
?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<h4>Posted on<?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> </h4>
<p><?php the_content(__(‘(more…)’)); ?></p>
<hr><?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.’); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?><br>
</td>
<td style=”vertical-align: top; width: 25%;”><?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=”2″ rowspan=”1″ style=”vertical-align: top;”><?php get_footer(); ?><br>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br>
<br>
</body>
</html>
ALL THE ABOVE FILES ARE INCLUDED ACCORDINGLY ON BOLD AREAS AND THE BLUE AREA IS THE MAIN CONTENT AREA
Now upload all these files to your
wp-content/themes/theme1 Folder and Activate theme theme1
Run http://localhost/wordpress
