WordPress is by far one of the most favored blogging tools, and WordPress themes are certainly popular. A custom theme is a handy service to sell to a client, while creating your own theme for your blog is a fantastic way to let your personality and skills shine through — much more so than downloading some run-of-the-mill theme already being used by five hundred other blogs.
Creating an entirely new theme from scratch is complex and time-consuming — explaining how to write your own is a job too large for one little blog post! Fortunately, WordPress’s parent and child theme feature is a fast and easy way to start using themes. Simply grab a parent theme framework that suits your needs, add a child theme with your own CSS and tweaks, and you’ll be on your way to theme domination.
