    I’m starting a big project: redesign my work website. (I’m planning to use wordpress as a CMS). I don’t really know where to start…what questions to ask. Is there a guide for something like this? Thanks!

    Not sure if there is a guide. Google around. If you have specific questions regarding WordPress I may be able to help.

    Well, by choosing WordPress, I would say you are probably on the right forum. People in these parts seem to be a little WordPress crazy, myself included. There actually is a guide for WordPress written by Chris Coyier himself. Here is a link to the book, here. It’s called “Digging into WordPress.” And the two authors update it every time a new version of WordPress comes out. It’s a very helpful book which deals with everything you could possibly want. I highly suggest it. Good luck!

    I second that. I forgot about ‘Digging into WordPress.’ Great resource!

    I really like the deal that they have with “Digging into WordPress” where you get a new PDF of the most current version every time they update WordPress, which happens about once a month, so you know you are reading up-to-date information. Also, it’s freakin’ Chris Coyier. You can’t go wrong with that. Chris has taught me everything I know about HTML, CSS, PHP, and WordPress.

    Here’s my process for building a WordPress site:

    1. Design Templates
    2. Create HTML Templates
    3. Do all browser testing
    4. Integrate HTML Templates into WordPress
    5. More testing
    6. Enter Content
    7. Launch

    This forum will be a great resource for you as well! I also recommend checking out Digging into WordPress.
