*There are a lot more learning websites out there, but I picked the ones that are, as far as I’m aware, completely free and in my opinion the best/ most useful.
Being able to create your own web layouts is the kind of freedom that a lot of people are looking for. More often than not, we can’t find exactly what we’re looking for and it can be quite frustrating, so learning how to code your layouts is the best way to solve this problem. On top of that, you can become a theme-maker yourself and share your awesome creations with people and become an inspiration yourself for those trying to learn it as well.
This post has a long list of tips on how to learn code and how to run your very own theme blog, and it’s divided into the following main points:
- Learning to Code
- Starting Your Own Themes
- Styling Your Theme Blog
- Running Your Theme Blog
- Sharing Your Content
- Good-Practices
