big sector to get into if your looking to make lots of money.

this looks good to read.

thanks tuts+ team.

OMG!! This is my favorite! Downloading

Looks like fun! I am going to check it out in a bit.

Looks like a great tutorial! Will watch it soon!
Thanks, Jeffrey

711MB ??? This is amazing!!!

Omg! I’m so glad that I’m plus member

Thanks

Download right now…. Thanks once again Jeffery

Looks amazing, really been looking forward to this after following you on twitter and hearing about it so much! Going to be really useful to me as the tutorials I normally went through for this were complicated, unhelpful and not user-friendly. However, NetTuts Plus is definitely one of the best resources for learning and have an excellent standard for their tutorials…so this, I have no doubt, will be brilliant.

Hey Jeffrey,

i’ve followed you on your jquery screencast and half of your php-screencast;)
I was asking myself, if i can still watch this tuts+ video series when my tuts+ account (i am going to create one soon) is not active anymore?

thanks for your answer.
till.

Oh if only i was not on Satelite internet I would download this straight away, but instead I will have to wait until I can hitch a ride on someone elses Broadband.

Living in the middle of nowhere has its pitfulls. Lack of broadband being one of them. But the large quantities of sheep almost make up for it.

It sounds fab though! Thanks!

This will go along great with the themeforrest screencasts!!

Great post- but I can’t wait for some more attention to be drawn to Thesis. I bought, learned, and rolled out a Thesis theme exact to my PSD specs in under 5 hours. It was really awesome- though I only imagine it’s beneficial time wise to people with a really strong grasp of CSS. Maybe some tutorials on hooks and functions sometime soon?

ah cool. I do this pretty much every day at work!!.. All our websites are wordpress based. Do you cover browser testing?.. thats always a fun part.. haha.

It looked great, until I saw the screencasts..

The video is good, but the sound is crappyyy!

I see everything on the video, but you voice/audio just falls away..

I here “hello.. my.. is… Wayne.. Today.. talking.. about..” end then I hear nothing any more, but the video is still playing.

Or the videofiles are bad, or my iMac is going crazy. I’m using Quicktime 7.6

Somebody has this too?

Best post till now. Man…

Sounds awesome. Thanks Jeffrey!

Hey jeff! I wanted to ask you that how can i check how many days left for my account. I signed up for 1 month and does not show any where that how many days left?

I download the files looks great but something is wrong with the audio…is anybody having the same problem?

Jeff, Why is your site down? Are you working on the design or something?

A mi parecer ya era hora de que alguien hiciera algo., pero que lo hiciera como debe de ser. Muchas Gracias.

xD

I signed up to the Plus program today for this video series and I’ve downloaded it twice and the sound for the video files is constantly breaking up in the videos.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Every video is affected and they’re un-watchable as the sound is totally screwed up.

How about a “buy now” option for individual tutorials. I’d gladly pay $9 for this tutorial, but I don’t want to sign up for a monthly subscription. Even if I can ditch the subscription whenever I want, I still don’t like doing that.

I just want to pay-per-tut!

Any chance of this happening??

Cheers

just use vlc or download CCCP Codec Pack and use media player classic which is my favorite along with vlc. This has to be the main reason why today i finally joined tuts+ thanks for this and hopefully Jeff you can make a PHP and jQuery one like this awesome!

Looks great. Thanks Jeff!

Is this for WordPress 2.7? If so, I will definitely consider joining tuts+ for this!

Good Step !

this is the best, thanks for this, I will check out when I buy myself a premium.Indeed most request tutorials like all over the web.

This is pure awesomeness…. hats off to you jaffrey… joining Nettuts+ now.. will be downloading later today..
m sure you would see a rapid increase in plus members after this screencast.. buddy u simply ROCK..!!! keep up the good work going..

Hey Jeff, Im watching the screencast right now have to say i have already learned something! The way you slice is pretty neat and precise I was thinking you can even make an PS action to make it even faster!

Hi there,
I’m really interested in your tutorial “The Best PSD to HTML to WordPress Video Series Available – New Plus Tutorial”

How much should i pay for just that tutorial.

thanks

Downloading now, though I have learned a lot about wordpress on my own(theme options, widgets, etc). I’m sure I’ll learn quite a bit from this. Tuts+ = best thing ever!

Insteresting and helpful lessons. I want to make my own World Press blog. Good to study this.
Some screencasting tool like DemoCreator would be great for make video tutorials like this.

Simply Amazing!! : o
well, I am not a member yet(but looks fantastic),, I have been waiting for more quality tuts to come and I am convinced that I can get a lot out of this tutsplus.

The layout of the comments on this site is the best I have ever seen

Jeff, It would have been a better idea if you were to include a PSD as well… I have trouble designing stuff.. any idea on how i can design site templates better?

wow!

awesome..

Is the entire thing finished or are you going to release on a weekly basis.

OMG WOW GREAT THANKS!!!! (thats all i can say)

You guys are taking online tutorials to a whole new level!

I tried one from css-tricks.com about a year ago and it got me started. I’m in the process of redesigning my podcasting site so this is a perfect weekend project and refresher’s course.

The subscription has been worth it with all of the tutorials from all of the tuts sites.

I think you just made me a tuts+ member, Jeffrey. As much as I’d love to go at this on my own, having this video series as a backup seems like a good idea

I’m def going to reup on my membership for this.

I really need to get some money so I can join tuts+, this tutorial looks amazing..

You guys should really have a “Pay Per Tut” function. Like $0.99 a Tut. That would be awesome.

Also, I don’t have an PHP knowledge. Would this tutorial be over my head?

Thanks for the great work.

Thanks Jeffery, Not watched this series yet, but have it downloaded and ready to rock.

This was the final straw which got me to signup for the plus account. Loving all the series currently going on with you and Drew.

Now this mammoth screencast is done will you be back to “Diving into PHP”?

Hey, PMS?

PERFECT name, according to your message…

Wow! Looks great!

Thanks Jeff. Been thinking of getting a tut+ membership for a few weeks now. Sold

Oh my Wordpress ! i wish have a plus account !

This is great! I cant decide if I should go with joomla or wordpress to create client sites. I want to create the design but leave it to the client to add / edit info. Help anyone?

I stayed up most of the night and watched parts 1 to 8. Purely amazing. Can’t wait to finish watching the whole thing. I think this tuts+ account was more than well worth the pizza I missed to buy it… lol

F*ck it. I’m getting a damn Tuts account…

Eh, I’m a member now.

I have a problem downloading the file, please advise.

The file source is damage..

I’ve been planning on joining plus for a while and this got me to finally do it. Thank you for this, I haven’t got to the Wordpress part yet but so far this is great.

hey im new at tutplus and i got plus account and i love it. =P
great tutorial.

Ive been looking for something like this for the longest time!

YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

This itself worth my subscription amount!! Thanks for the great resource.

I’ve been looking for a good tutorial about this for months now! I’m so glad I’m a plus member!!

Jeffery, your tutorials are amazing.

Unfortunately i can’t join tutsplus because it’s not barrier-free.

I have PayPal but it seems that you can’t access this service without a credit card.Not everybody has a credit card.PayPal has more options available.For example payments with direct debit.Hope that you change this really quick.

I WANT TO JOIN:-) !!!

This is a great screencast! I would have paid $9 or even more for this one. A subscription to tutsplus is definitively worth it.
I’ve been looking into making my own theme for some time now, but never really gotten the hang of it, been really intimidated by the template tags and the loop! But Jeff makes it so easy and understandable and logical that I’m getting very confident in making a theme from scratch. Kudos to Jeff!

Hello Everyone,

I too agree with your comments and find this tutorial awsome, but let me allow just one critique: I downloaded the +700MB which was okay for me, but as I just started to follow part 2 “slicing the psd” I was a bit confused not to find the psd file to just slice the thing myself. At first I thought I was mistaken but then I checked twice and found there was simply no psd file provided. Of course you can just take the graphics alredy sliced but this really frustrated me…

My subscription has ended but because that was absolutely fantastic I’m probably going to spend $22 and buy Quarterly and wait for more videos. Thanks for making these videos, these are very helpfull.

I downloaded and it stopped at around 85% trying it again.
Hope it works this time, just posting this comment to let you know.
I’m not sure what the problem was though.
The series sounds like it will be excellent though.

Hi Jeff, is it possible for you to put links to individual videos that plus members can download from the members area. I’ve extracted the file but i don’t have the last video: Finishing Up – (16:54)

Thank you for the great tutorials.

Just finished watching. Fantastic job! A little quick toward the end, but very informative. I am moving on to the “beginning to master” series now. I am happy I joined and giving up the “pizza” has made me feel healthier already.

To others: Take a look at craigslist some day, Wordpress developers are in BIG demand. $9 is hardly a sacrifice for the skills you’ll learn just in this series.

Nettuts+ membership is like re-enrolling in college for $9 (without the dorms and bongs).

hey Jeffrey
can you upload the psd for the plus members?
and if no, what the size of the psd?

Greate tut thanks

Thank you for the 3 part download

Just want to say you’ve got me convinced for at least a month by releasing this! If the other content is anywhere near this standard I’m sure I’ll be staying a Tuts+ member too!

Just finished going through all the videos.

I just wanted to say that this tutorial is amazing, and if you don’t already have a plus membership, this tutorial alone is worth the price.

I’ve been searching the internet for a few months now trying to find out how to convert my static HTML site into a dynamic wordpress theme. There are many tutorials out there, but none of them helped me a bit.

In this tutorial Jeff explained to me well, how everything works, what to do, and why to it that way. I went into the tutorial knowing nothing about wordpress, and came out feeling like a had a good foundation with it.

This Plus membership never seizes to amaze me.
Thanks and keep up the good work guys.

This is going to make me a money making machine in the near future.

Hey jeff you should have a big link up at the top that says works best with VLC media player. Reminds me of the “works best in IE” days

da*m!
Its mean, ..I need to get TUT+ .

Look everyone satisfied here…

Hey JW,

Awesome tutorial so far, I just finished part one. I noticed something that might make your unique “slicing” method even quicker – instead of having to toggle off the background layer (to make the image background transparent) for each new file, when you create a new file you set the “background contents” as transparent within the new file dialog.

Hi Jeff

Not a Tut+ member yet, seriously considering it. Just want to double check, can we download the screencasts to view on our machines whenever we want. The reason I ask we in the third world (South Africa) unfortunately only have capped ADSL, and am currently only on a 5GB limit per month and have to pay extra for more bandwidth when thats up. So as you can imagine to download almost a Gig would be a considerable dent in my quota. Although I’d happily pay for more if it meant I could download the screencasts to my hard drive, instead of having to use up valuable bandwidth everytime I wanted to view the tuts. Look forward to your response. Love the Envato sites – phenomenal. Also bought the Wordpress Rockstar book – very good.

Hi Jeffrey,

Thanks again for these videos. Really learning alot.

In video 4 – The CSS, at about 35:10 i think you wanted to add a border-top and you skipped to move on.

You typed.

-post-item img {
float: left;
padding: 30px 20px 30px 30px;
border-top: 1px solid white;
}

then you tried to change it like this.

-post-item img {
float: left;
padding: 0px 20px 30px 30px;
border-top: 1px solid white;
margin-top 30px;
}

Just to share, i think you can do it like this. I did it like this:

div#main div#primary div.post-item img {
float: left;
margin: 30px 20px 30px 30px;
border-top: 1px solid #fff;
}

Used margins instead of padding and then applied the border.

I signed up to Plus today because of this series of instructions.
I’d recently gone through Collis’ PSD to HTML tutorial for the Portfolio site, which was wonderful.

I’ve basically got one, potentially two clients waiting for me (the second because it’s the accountant helping me set up my business!) so I’ve really got to learn some Photoshop & HTML skills. PHP and things like that still escape me, but that’ll come with time as ye say.

Just wanted to thank ye for this – I’ve downloaded it and will get a chance to explore the vids tomorrow night after work.
Keep up the awesome work!

Hi Jeffrey, in video, 5. installing wordpress, you show the changes on the html site that you made. How did you position the “read more” button? is it an anchor outside the paragraph or is it in the paragraph?

I notice the paragraph is not overflowing. So i’m assuming you used overflow hidden for the paragraph like so:

div#main div#primary div.post-item p {
color: #7e7e7e;
font-style: italic;
overflow: hidden;
}

Did you just add a margin-left to the “read more” button and pushed it all the way to the center?

Would be great if you could share how you made those slight changes. The other changes are pretty straightforward.

Amazing work Jeff! Thank You! Worth every cent!

I have one question: How can I change default gravatar in wordpress, I want to have one of my own, that I create in photoshop?

Once again Thank You!

when you continue with this series, i.e. extend it with plugins as you mentioned, can you take the wp super cache plugin configuration step by step? it confuses me a bit

Jeff, great job on the tutorials. They got me convinced to finally sign up for Tuts+ for a 3-months period and I am extremely happy I did. This tutorial of yours is priceless – I am primarily a designer with HTML and CSS skills, but creating a WP template myself has been something that scared me for quite a while. Now it doesn’t look that intimidating at all anymore.

I especially benefited from your technique of ’slicing’ images – never thought of that but now it finally paid off that I memorized those PS shortcuts and it also helped me to see how you worked with FF add-ons to create the stylesheet and inspect the WP code. I had no idea that was at all possible. And sheesh – you are a fast typer! I follow along while watching and I found myself hitting the space bar to pause VLC quite often because I just couldn’t keep up.

Absolutely awesome, overall, and I look forward to the time when you continue this series.

Thank you!

Just finished watching. What a breadth of information. I’m definitely going to be putting this info to great use!!

thanks a bunches.

Jeffrey Way, you’re God!

Really useful thanks!

Is it Necessary to have a CC attached to a paypal account to buy a Tuts+ account? i was about to go for a Tuts+ plus account, But i cant cause i don’t have CC attached in my paypal account. Any Solution guys?

It’s the first time I commented here and I must say you share us genuine, and quality information for bloggers! Good job.
p.s. You have a very good template for your blog. Where did you find it?

Hey,

I also have that problem. I can’t seem to buy the $9 membership because I don’t have a CC attached to my account.

I have the $9 but I can’t buy it. Could you please change it so we don’t need a Credit Card? Because MANY people are missing out on this type of membership.

Please fix it, thank you!

I’ve downloaded the series, but theres something wrong with audio. This happened just with me or with someone else?

Jeff,

I just finished the series (I contacted ye through your site with my result, as asked) and can honestly say that my investment in the Tuts+ Network has paid off in my mind – I’m completely at ease being a member because I know only quality tuts will be put on here.

The archives, freebies and tutorials in the whole Envato™ network are awesome, and I know that I’ll most likely find everything I need right here, or in the posts referring to other networks.

This series has set my mind to rest about the decision to become a small-time freelancer – I’m starting my first paid design job in June thanks to ye and Tuts+!

Thanks so much again for this, and make sure to let us know when the expanded series comes out! I’d love to know more about the plugins and widgets, and how to craft our own.

Hi

Can’t seem to download any of the files – Flock gives XML errors and Safari says decompression failed. any ideas?

I’ll definitely be using this tut when I redesign my blog!

Great read!

The sound of the first video is awful…

Did you saw the template in IE6, its a disaster , also you tell how to slice items in png but you dont tell how they run under ie6 .I know how this stuff happens but for someone which is new it will be difficult to understand …

NOTHING PERSONAL , i just give opinion for the tutorials to be better

Spectacular Drupal Theme use for any web designers….. andf very useful too.

Truely great tutorial, Keep up the good work!

Where in the tutorial does it explain creating the custom fields for post images? I’m having a tough time with that.

This is my first tutorial that I’ve completed since I got my membership a month ago, and I wanted to say just how great these videos are. Jeff is thourough, and goes through everything step by step. I was looking everywhere for something like this, I am a graphic designer who has wanted to learn html/wordpress, and these videos were exactly what I needed. They even helped me with a project I was recently assigned at work, one that I know I would have greatly struggled with without having watched these tutorials. Great job!

Ive got the tuts plus suscription and i fucking love it, i learned so much on this video, I also can submit a theme on ThemeForest!! Thank Guys

This is so great, I think you’ve just made me a +member. 9$/month is ridiculous for what you get here. can’t believe it. so awesome

Hello i have made my front page a “static page” and have added at the bottom so you are able to submit comments on the front page of my blog but when you hit submit it just goes to a blank page of wp-comments-post.php ?? when i switch back to the default theme i notice i will submit the comments but links to the blog page where the posts are but when i got back to the home page of the default theme it works… but when i am on my custom theme it does not work. Help?? lol
