Many of you have asked for a class on how to customize your WordPress theme. Unfortunately, I just don’t have the time to write and teach another course right now. I did spend a chunk of my summer helping Jeramie rewrite the PHP 101 class. We have totally redesigned it so it truly has a web developer focus versus a generic programming focus. In addition, I have made sure that we address all of the basic skills that you would need to customize the code of your WordPress theme. Want to change how your posts are displayed? How about making sure the author’s nickname always appears on the post? Or maybe you want to make sure that your comments have gravatars and that your readers can subscribe to the comment feed? No problem! Those are just a sample of the things that you can do with your theme once you understand PHP.

You can read more about the course, Anita’s and my discussion about how this PHP course is different and also register via this blog post on the new MySQL/PHP blog.
