Thu, 25/08/2011 - 22:19

DrupalCon London is almost over, the sessions have all been wrapped up and all that remains tomorrow is the code sprints to try and put some of the awesome ideas from the week straight into action. This was actually my first ever DrupalCon, unfortunately I could only attend one of the days but even so; I learnt a lot from the sessions I attended, the entire atmosphere was great and I'll definitely be attending future conferences!

A few weeks ago I decided my website content pages needed a bit of a spruce up, less of a 'redesign' more of a 'refactoring' really.

Whilst designing the new content pages I also decided to make some changes to the backend too; moving away from the ZEN base theme to a completely custom theme contstructed from scratch.

I am in the process of writing up the changes I've made in slightly more detail, there are some pretty cool changes I made to the Drupal side of the site which I wan't to share.

Zen Sub-theme Error

The great thing about Drupal is that it comes with a variety of themes available to download. If, like me however, you want to carve out your own theme then there is an incredibly useful way of doing this: the Zen theme.

Zen is a perfect starting point for anyone who wants to give theming a go for Drupal sites. It is well documented and within a few easy steps you can be on your way to creating your own theme.
