Following up on where I was yesterday, it seems that everyone is starting to get into the WordPress theme business. There really is no better way to advertise your Blog than through a good-looking WordPress theme. However unless you are a coding freak, this is easier said than done ………… until now!

The evolution of the WordPress theme is taking some interesting turns in development. I’m not going to get into the tech side of things here so that I can keep things simple. But developers now are dividing WordPress themes is half. One half is called the “Frame”, more commonly known as the “Parent Theme” and, the other half is called the “Child Theme”.

You can now build a dozen or so themes on one frame. This changes everything. If you can put together a few simple files you can have yourself a theme. It works something like this; you place the frame inside of your “themes” folder that lies within your “wp-content” folder. At the same time you upload your theme to the same folder. When you go to activate your theme, you activate your theme not your frame. But both frame and theme must reside inside the same folder for the theme to work.

WordPress Frames are not new of course, but they have been gaining traction since the first of this year, as it makes the development of the theme that you see and the editing of that theme much easier. Once you have your frame in place you can build a theme is just a few short hours and that is a pretty cost affective way to promote your Blog.

If you wish to explore WordPress Theme Frameworks in greater detail you can click on the link to get you started down that road. That first one illustrated is titled: Atahualpa. I have experience with this one as I built my “Europa Files” Blog with Atahualpa. I’ve seen some smokin’ hot themes before, but this one takes the cake. It comes with 268 extremely well thought out options.
