How to create my WordPress theme made with tables?

Hi Curtis,

You can use html table themes on wordpress using a third party editor such as CSS or LiveWriter. Uploading or creation of your personal theme is currently not supported in wordpress.com You’d have to build it to a self-host blog. Neatness is the key to making good HTML table themes.

When it is done now you can convert into wordpress template. To convert you html template into wordpress 3.5 follow these steps.

1.   Insert the following code at the beginning of the page, where you create your html page layout.

<?php

/*

    Template Name: mytemplate.php

*/

?>

2.   Suppose your layout file name was mylayout.html, then convert it into mylayout.php because you have just inserted the php tag right at the top of you maylayout.html file.

3.   Go to the theme directory inside your wordpress installation folder.

4.    Go to “wp-content” click “themes” folder and select the theme which is currently active or set to default.

5.   Inside your chosen theme folder there is page-templates directory.

6.   This is the place where you need to paste your mylayout.php file.

7.   Go back to wordpress admin panel and click pages. Chose the title of the page you want to apply your layout.

8.   On the right side, Under Page attributes, choose mytemplate.php as shown in following fig.

9.   Click Update to save the changes.

10.   Go back to wordpress Home page and click the page where you applied the layout.

11.   By following step 7 to 9 you can apply your layout on as many pages as you want.
