Another big thank you to Chris! I was already a fan from CSS-Tricks and it was great to see him here! I would love to see more from Chris. Watching him code is huge for someone like me who is trying to move from simple HTML/CSS sites to more robust and user/client friendly sites. I strive to be as clean with my code, and watching someone who is mindful of that is extremely helpful. Chris is a natural teacher and makes it all seem so doable.

I am another fan. And, like Grandma Kc, am bent on helping the world learn that web design and management belongs to all generations. My first website in the early ’90s was for a small nonprofit I worked for. We could not afford outside experts so I learned html from books I got from the library and typed it on Notepad. My passion is designing and managing websites for nonprofits and friends who are artists who cannot afford the price of experts to keep their websites current. WP is a great solution for them and the child theme information was new to me too. I am currently converting two nonprofit websites to WP and learning php on lynda.com. Love it!

I could not agree more! Chris’ couse on Creating and Editing Custom WP Themes is absolutely awesome!!! I’ve been using an old WP theme that I modified a bunch before learning about child themes. One huge problem with it was it didn’t do threaded comments. Chris course allowed me to fix that problem and to design a brand new theme for my Granddaughter as a birthday present. I have 3 more days before it goes live and I am thrilled. Thank you Chris!!! Thank you Lynda.com!

I have watched Chris’s course and it is very comprehensive, from the mood board, to the html and css to making the custom theme. I think it is the best course I have seen on lynda.com so far. Keep up the good work!

@Lou: That reminds me... if any of you are completely brand new to web design, you may want to start your education with these two courses: Web Design Fundamentals CMS Fundamentals

I agree with Nancy! I have known of Lynda.com since it was a new site and Lynda was speaking at the HOW Design Conference. The course Creating and Editing Custom WordPress Themes is a invaluable lesson to be learned! Seems like every website project that comes in is requesting a CMS!
