LEARNING IS BY DOING: the following are a series of tutorials, to learn to customize Wordpress' twenty-ten theme by using a child theme, as well as add a couple of features here and there.
I know its October-2014 presently, but the twenty-ten theme was chosen because of its simplicity and this is actually how I learnt the ropes in understanding wordpress themes; by modifying the twenty-ten theme.
The same concept can be applied to just about any Wordpress theme out there, and in the process you could learn Wordpress too.
It is assumed that you have a working installation of Wordpress, and the twenty-ten theme installed and activated.
Enjoy!!
