Okay,

Great! And what about the stylesheet.css file, should I rename that, too?

Thanks for the help.

So,

I’ve on a header and nav bar so far…

Is it too late to simply rename the file as index.php (instead of index.html) and incorporate php elements?

WOO,

Thanks for all the help so far guys!! I’ve managed to log into FileZilla.

In terms of using Notepad++ .. I have a mac ?? So I can’t use this,

Can you recommend any great mac alternatives? I have text wranger ATM but it’s a bit rubbish and it doesn’t let you open separate tabs.

Cheers,

Okay,

So I’ve downloaded filezilla…. how do I log into my server?

It’s asking for “host” “Username” “Password” and “Port”.

Is the username and password the same as my WP Login details?

I’ve tried using them and I have the message “Critical error: Could not connect to serveer”.

I’m with Bluehost if that helps…

Okay,

If it makes a difference, I’m planning on using this theme for personal use; I won’t be trying to get it published as an official theme!

1. If I can’t use natehawkes’ blank theme as a template, is there a blank one within www.ads-software.com/themes/ that I can use?

2. You’ve completely lost me on the web server bit… So will my wp-contents folder be located on the web somewhere?

My domain is: https://contentcookie.com. How would i access my wp-contents folder from there?

Thanks natehawkes!!

Yeah, I’m creating a theme from scratch.

Okay, so when it comes to saving the files to the server, where do I find the wp-contents/themes folder? Will that be saved somewhere on my computer?

Cheers,

Yeah, I know, but I’ve clearly missed something I think!

Basically, I’m ready to start coding my site… but is there somewhere within WordPress that I should do this? Should I code it in an external application and then upload it as a file? Is that how it works? This is the bit that I’m really not getting (told you I was a beginner!).
