Dreamweaver CS5 and WordPress Theme Design
I am not sure if you have already heard, but the latest copy of Adobe Dreamweaver, CS5, comes with WordPress theme integration (as well as Drupal and Joomla).
Dreamweaver CS5 recognizes specific WordPress and uses that information to help you design the templates.I am yet to try this but am looking forward to picking up my copy today and playing around with this feature alot.
My goal is to design a theme, and then code it (or outsource the coding) and use Dreamweaver CS5 to convert the HTML to a fully functional WordPress theme!
Designing WordPress themes in Dreamweaver has always been a bit of a pain because there are so many files associated with each theme, but with this latest version the dynamically related files will look through the code and find all the files that might need to be edited. You can then do searches across those files and filter the list to show only the ones that are relevant to what you’re working on.
Sounds a little complicated but Adobe is starting to release a few videos and I am sure that Youtube will follow.
I will keep you updated on my progress?
Anyone else getting CS5?

Excellent news – Dreamweaver with CMS support. It’s been a nightmare in previous versions when developing a site.
In all honesty, I am designer and blogger, I’ve found it hard to find a good premium WordPress theme, and I always end up customising it. It’s a habit of a designer.
