I am so glad to see this… I can say it was a surprise. I hope I can use it to convert designceh.com to wordpress.

Great tutorial! I just finished up my first custom WP theme around two weeks ago and the only major headache I had was coding it to work with WP. Hopefully you know of a simpler way to integrate a design into an actual WP template. Thanks again for the tutorials! If you take requests, I’d love to see a tutorial with tips on mastering the pen tool.
