    @gv222 They normally take a total of two hours a day to make. I don’t have any other hobbies. I’m glad you liked it

    Hey, great blog however I dont understand how your theme popped up in wordpress, where are all your theme files from?

    @TheMelanieTube Sorry but I’m not sure what you are asking for. All of the files are saved in the wp-content directory in themes. Is that the question

    @derekbanas yes but they dont show up on my wordpress dashboard/ theme section, why not, i have downloaded them.

    @TheMelanieTube You have to save the theme folder in the themes folder. The theme folder is in the folder named wp-content in WordPress. You can also install themes in WordPress by uploading the zipped theme. You do that on theme page under appearance on your wordpress dashboard

    @donvodki I’m not sure where these odd characters are popping up. Give me some more information and I’ll be glad to help

    @derekbanas tyvm! go to my website and click on I LIKE button on the following post that is using special characters (my 1st language is spanish) then go to your facebook wall and see whats the problem… the special characters are changed to these weird simbols. please take a look. tyvm again. the post is: donvodki . com/?p=261

    @donvodki That seems to be a Facebook issue. They don’t recognize the symbol ñ It seems you have to replace the special characters this way ñ= \u00f1 and Ñ= \u00d1

    So you’d have to do something like This is a \u00d1 to get that character to show up. I hope that helps.

    Thanks Derek, this video has been really helpful to me. We all appreciate it.
    I did find a mistake in the video though, that’s been causing me trouble until just now. On your video you write bloginfo(‘template-directory’); when in fact it is bloginfo(‘template_directory’); – Just a warning to anyone else that had this problem.

    @downfall1991 Thanks for pointing that out. I forgot to point out the error. You guys are very smart 🙂
