Using the information contained in the first three parts of the series, decide what features and functions you want your theme to have?

  • What type of layout do you want, 1 column, 2 column, sidebar, etc.?
  • What subject (if any) do you want it to reflect?
  • What features/functionality do you want it to have? Do you want to be able to customize colors? Include a custom logo or header image, etc?

This is actually the most important step in the process. Making the general decisions for the look/feel of your site.

Thank you for putting all this together. I also followed the links to your previous training and now have a much better understanding of terms i.e., "columns" , purpose of side bars, etc.

Your rationale for choosing a theme is excellent.

I am still a little confused when I see the option to add a menu - isn't one enough? Why would I need more than one menu and where would I put this second or third menu?

Where menus can be located vary by theme - they can have several locations, I like header and footer menus - header for navigation and footer for the legal stuff.

Of course...a footer menu for the legal stuff. Makes sense now. :-)
