In the past I’ve tinkered with other people’s themes and achieved reasonable results, but it would be good to acquire a solid skill set.

First up is CSS.

I’ve created four blogs on wordpress.com For now, each has one of the generic themes. As my personal version of CSS Zen Garden I intend to create a unique appearance for each, building on the bare bones of the Sandbox theme.

Once I’m happy with them, I’ll then move off wordpress.com and develop full themes using XHTML & PHP: probably not anytime soon!
