Themes, In Review:
• A wireframe will help • plugins: avoid
you get your content reinvention of the
theme-ready wheel

• Sorry, Google • if statements and
admin notices
• .org repository (since
fall 2010) & reputable • theme unit test
commercial theme
authors are reliable • poorly coded theme is
not the plugin’s fault
• the right tools: FTP + (mitcho is a nice guy)
