Helpful site in designing wp theme

After few weeks of sinking myself in designing my blog – wordpress theme, I am finally coming to the end. Yippie! I have found a suitable blog title, more descriptive than Cabe Rawit Lady which is a combination between Indonesia language and English. I also have a simple tagline to match the title. Most importantly, the design itself. Simple and pink. No mumbo jumbo design.

As this is my very first time designing wordpress theme, I did a lot of research and see a lot of inspiring blog design, until I stop myself from seeing furthermore. Or else, I will want to put in all the element of design. :P

The series Blog design from scratch from “blog design blog” helps me alot, especially the article How to Blog Design Style Guide. The author pointed out 9 elements that needs to be given attention in designing blog, which are:
1. Header
2. Content Area
3. Primary Navigation
4. Secondary Navigation
5. Headlines
6. Comments
7. Post’s Footer
8. Footer
9. Advertisements

After final check with my wp theme, I shall forward it to the boyfriend for coding. ;) One day, I will be able to code it myself. Now, I’ll get back to my weekend reading, a 55 pages pdf files of how to code wordpress theme from wpdesigner.com.
