Developing a wordpress theme is not that difficult even for a highly technical web developer who does not have much knowledge on designing.

Anatomy of wordpress theme and how to build a wordpress theme from scratch will be provided in much future articles.

 

I have completed the mandatory requirements for a theme and uploaded my theme to wordpress.org and waiting for approval. It takes more than 2 months some times to get an approval from theme. So this post series will be updated based on the suggestions provided by wordpress.org authors.
