    @phillmadz This was made over a year ago, and the site that I was linking to has been taken offline. The style.css can be found in my later tutorials.

    so say I want to copy a site look like rhettandlink’s site all I do is make a header.php put the header info from the html info from the head of their site and do the same thing with the rest of the php files you need. their site is also ran using wordpress if so then it should be a piece of cake I will try what you did here and see if not I will keep reading my php for beginners book I just got.

    A PHP file is NOT “just HTML with PHP code added.” The output of a PHP script can contain HTML, but PHP has little to do with HTML otherwise.

    @phillmadz I had the same problem.

    I fixed it to change the Style.css tot style.css without the Capital S. Then it worked for me 🙂

    Helpful for starters, thanks. I usually like taking a freebie theme and bending it to my will…now with this tutorial anything is possible.

    I am new to wordpress so bear with me. What i want to know is that is this theme installable? i.e. can this be applied like the default (twentyten & twentyeleven) themes??
