MemberI am going through the files the the default theme of WP … I only see .php .css & .js files … I have yet to see any .html files … I am just gonna try and build a temp from scratch on a localhost environment … I have opened up most of the files in the default theme … and I only see php code … so … what is the direction I need to start at to get this stuff rollin …
my start file is named this for basic purposes …
scratch_WP
and inside … i have the following files save but they are blank …
404 .php
archive .php
comments .php
footer .php
functions .php
header .php
image .php
index .php
links .php
trl .php
search .php
sidebar .php
single .php
style .phpI would imagine I am gonna need some .js <---- this is jQuery correct ... What else am I gonna need … I am gonna just hand code everything … I have also done some research and Google, Yahoo, TypeKit, BrandsoftheWorld, CSS-Tricks, Itunes and Facebook all of which is using html5 for the doctype declaration all of which have MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF TRAFFIC … so I am going to do the same … since my site is not a major site … I should be safe with using 100% HTML5 … if this is just stupid feel free to let me know … thanks …

Member.js does not equal ‘jQuery’. Any Javascript file ends with .js.
There will be no HTML files in your theme’s folder. My process goes something like this:
Design templates
Create HTML templates and do all of my testing
Convert HTML templates into WordPress templates
Enter content

MemberI do mockups on paper first before I design the actual thing on Photoshop. There is a lot of debate as to whether one should start with HTML/CSS right away, but prefer not to. I can make changes easily.

MemberVery cool! I’ve looked at a few web-specific note books. There are too many choices for me to make a purchase!
