I give up I am fed up trying to get wordpress themes to do
what I want ..................
I like a little from this theme and then that theme has a better
footer...............................
You get the idea I want to teach myself how to design my own templates
and I would like to know what books experienced designers recommend.

I am actually starting from scratch, but I have taught myself HTML so I am
not a complete begginer.

Thanks La dominatrix

    Personally I don't think that a book is necessarily a requirement. There's hundreds of great Wordpress tutorials online that will take you step by step through the process of creating a theme from scratch. I just Googled 'create wordpress theme from scratch' and it pulled back a lot of results that could really help, without spending money on a book that, chances are, will be out of date quite quickly due to how quickly different technologies on the internet change and adapt.

    Whatever you choose in the end I wish you the best of luck.

    You need much more than HTML experience, you should be fluent in PHP and CSS as well.

    CSS and PHP as well....................

    I understand it will be a steep learning curve, but I have
    I to start somewhere. ...................

    Bex Thanks for your comment i will have a look down that
    road..............................
