2.1 Free Resources

If you are just starting out, there is no need to spend
money on your design. WordPress users have a wide
range of free and beautiful themes to choose from.
Your first destination should be the official Themes
Directory. On top of that you also have many sites
and blogs that compile lists with the best themes
around. Here are some of them:
 83 Beautiful WordPress Themes  
 100 Best WordPress Themes  
 Top 50 Free WordPress Themes  
 45 Must See WordPress Themes  
 45 Free Premium WordPress Themes  
WordPress themes are also very easy to customize,
making it possible to add a unique touch to your site
even if you are using a free theme. I also recommend that you learn the basics of HTML
and CSS, as this will be useful for the rest of your
“online career.” The w3Schools.com website has a
structured lesson plan for both of these topics.
Another site that has an excellent teaching material
for web design is HTML.net.
