I've tried to dig into layout code on my own, and have just ended up frustrated. And a Google search for tutorials pretty much turns up nothing. Why doesn't anyone want to share? Apparently because a lot of these folks are getting big bucks for their templates, all because they know the "big secrets." Well, the cat's about to be let out of the bag. Finally someone has opened the door to interested theme-builders with a Theme WordPress tutorial DVD called "How to Theme WordPress: From Blank To Beautiful in 2 Hours." Two hours seems totally doable, and a DVD would allow one to grasp the entire concept without being bogged down in text, like a book might do.
If this DVD makes building a WP theme as easy as they promise, I may not have that much deciding to do after all!

Very good post! I love the flexibility of my Wordpress, but I really would like to design my own. It just seems a bit daunting at times. :) I think I'll get this DVD! :)
I used to be really adamant about only using free tutorials online, but they just don't seem to exist. The DVD seems like a really good -- and reasonably-priced -- alternative. Even if I didn't want to hand-build a theme from scratch, I want to be able to know enough to tweak the ones I find!
