Shaping WordPress Themes
Replacing the Thematic Menu with a DropDown List of Categories
Who's Behind ThemeShaper?
My name is Ian Stewart. I’m a professional designer, and WordPress enthusiast, trying to shape how we think about the exciting and dynamic world of WordPress themes.
Back in 2006 I took my first tentative steps into the world of theme design. I didn’t know it at the time but those first steps would change how I think about design completely. Since then, I've done my best to change how we all think about designing WordPress themes.
