Oh how meta!
So here’s the deal: I’m building a WordPress blog/magazine theme from scratch, and since I haven’t worked with WordPress in a while, there is sure to be plenty of learning and re-learning. Therefore, I’m going to document my progress on this blog, and share what I’ve learned along the way. There’s plenty of information on WordPress theme development available in the Codex, but it’s not always presented in the friendliest way. I’m hoping to pick apart some of the trickier concepts in the Codex, and discuss what I’ve learned in a more reader-friendly way.
I know there are plenty of WordPress blogs about WordPress already, but I feel like a lot people have only recently come to understand what it means for something to be “meta”. If I’d started this blog a couple years ago, I’m sure people would have been all “Meta-blog? What, is that like metaphysics? ‘Cause that shit’s confusing.” and so on.
At some point I’m going to update this website with progressive versions of the soon-to-be-born theme, but in the meantime, I’ve picked something straightforward and easy.
I’m sure there will be some non-wordpress-related posts from time to time, but I promise they’ll all be somewhat relevant!
Cheers!
