Develop a WordPress theme on your Mac
I'm going to tell you a secret, that I hope we can keep between us: I am a big fan of blogs and blogging. I love to write and I love to read, so blogging is a natural extension of that (and I hope my level of enjoyment makes its way into my posts here). WordPress is the hottest blogging tool out there. It is open source, dynamic, and all the cool kids use it. Sadly, while content is king, people also love a pretty face.Circle Six Blog has a great post up that outlines Brett's workflow for designing WordPress themes locally on his Mac. He lists a number of useful apps that we have covered on TUAW and includes some good general web design tips.

Well glory be, that one worked. Okay, now the original comment: what BAD BOYS you are, crashing Circle Blue's server. I set aside the whole day to study the article, and now it's gone. Shame on you.

Yes, apparently this post generated just enough traffic to tick off the shared host the blog was on. We're switching to a "real" host right now, but the sites going to be a little flaky for a while...

I've built 3 wordpress themes on my powerbook just using dreamweaver for editing code and photoshop for graphics. I keep hearing bad things about dreamweaver, but it works great for me.

This looks very interesting, but it appears the site is down.
Here's an attempt at a Coral Cache mirror:
