Hi,

I am now looking to do a web blog and came to your site… I emailed you and have not heard from you and upon these comments it looks like you have not been responding since July.

I have the same questions asked as Max and Kezer. On my index.html it writes: (I’m copy pasting)

KiraSherrine Blog

So Im quessing somewhere in there there is the header coding that I have to guess via the pics in the image folder…
But what is the Nav is different from the header?

And on your sample you have listed “upper middle”, what are these refering to on the why its written to the location?

Hi, Great tutorial.
But I have a question.
I named My slices according to where I want to put my content.
you know like header,footer,side bar, advertisement.

But, when I download them into my folder. it come out as div id=website_1, website_2, and so forth.

How can I keep the name of my slices as they are download?

This well help me code better, I know it will.

Basically your WordPress theme “parts” come from copy and pasting the areas of your index.htm file. So anything you designate as header information should be copy an pasted into header.php. Anything you designate as footer information goes into footer.php. I’m not sure how else to explain it as it really is kind of arbitrary and up to your own discretion.

Due to popular demand, I’ll do a slicing specific tutorial this month.

Essentially you need to divide your xhtml into sections and place those in the proper areas. You header goes into “header.php”. Your footer code goes into “footer.php”. This step is putting things in their place before you begin marking up. Please continue to ask questions, I’ll answer what I can here!

I’m a little confused on this section. I’m going to experiment and see what you mean, but images would help a little more like you did on previous sections.
