Drupal Theming Demo

It looks like I volunteered to give a demo on creating a Drupal theme from scratch. Here are some initial things I have in my head:

Assumptions

I will assume you understand the basics of HTML and CSS. Here is a good place to start: http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/011/firstcss

I will also assume you do not know PHP but can understand it's basic usage in web development. http://www.php.net

HTML/CSS Theme

I think we can interactively pick an open-source theme from one of these two sites:

* http://www.oswd.org/
* http://www.openwebdesign.org/

Creating Theme

We will make our open-source design from above into a Drupal theme. we can use the following resources to help us along the way:

* Zen Drupal Theme
* Drupal Documentation

Once the variables are in our theme, it will be a matter of editing the CSS to conform to the Drupal standards.

Advanced Theming

I may go further into theming by theming nodes or customizing Drupal functions.

Your Input

Come with questions. Also, if you have any ideas on directions I should take this, please feel free to let me know.
