Themes, In Review:• A wireframe will help
you get your content theme-ready
• Sorry, Google
• .org repository (since fall 2010) & reputable commercial theme authors are reliable
• the right tools: FTP + text editor
• plugins: avoid reinvention of the wheel
• if statements and admin notices
• theme unit test
• poorly coded theme is not the plugin’s fault (mitcho is a nice guy)
