Release Day: Create a New Theme

This week in our PSD to Theme series we are getting into the nitty-gritty and creating our new theme in Drupal. We start off by getting the .info file set up properly and then add our style guide stubs to work with. Then we build our page.tpl.php file for the structure and layout of our pages. With all of that in place we'll finish up by adding our site-wide elements, like images we need from when we sliced up our PSD.

Next week we'll be finishing up this series by enabling our new theme, taking a look at the way we have set it up, and also exploring some other things we could do to take things to the next step.
