From PSD to WP series – Part II

Monday, October 19th, 2009

It’s finally published.

From Photoshop to Wordpress – Part II – Coding

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… lesson learned. I never thought it would have taken me so long to write it but life comes at you with unexpected road bumps and you just have to deal with it. From now on tho, if I ever do another series, I’ll make sure all the parts are written before publishing the first one.

I’m just so happy that it’s out there and I hope it will help some of you learn how to slice a Photoshop mockup.

Like anything else in Web Design, understand that this is merely one way of doing it. It’s how I’ve done it for the past 10 years and it’s worked great for me.

As for Part III, I’m starting it this week and I hope to publish it in the coming weeks.

Thank you for you patience!

"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

Here is a list of recommended DOCTYPEs and a great article from Alistapart that explains how to fix your site with the right DOCTYPE.
