"Bending Zen" Subthemes of Zen Theme for Drupal 6

Subthemes is the second video in my Bending Zen Series. This shows you how to quickly set up a subtheme using Zen as your base theme in Drupal 6. Setting up a subtheme is a quick and easy way to utilize Zen's functionality without tinkering with Zen itself. It also allows you to run updates to the Zen theme without completely reworking your theme.

I forgot where I got the suggestion for this book, but I added it to a Christmas list somewhere and behold! It was quite a surprise to get this for Christmas because most of my family does not understand what I do, much less understand what tech books I would actually read and use.

"Bending Zen" Intro

Here is the slideshow I put together for the local Drupal Users Group (Drupal Indy Group). I did a presentation on bending the Zen Theme into your own. The concept was to use the Zen Theme as a starting point and create a new theme that will be packed with the functionality of the Zen Theme. This is the Intro to the Bending Zen screencast. This is just for reference information and to give you an overview of the concepts and best practices that should be followed when bending the Zen Theme.

The Zen Theme

Recently I did a presentation about how you can 'bend' the Zen Theme to make it your own (view the presentation intro here). The zen theme has a lot of cool features that I have always liked in theming. The more I work with it, the harder it is for me to build a theme from scratch. Here's what I love about the Zen Theme.

Mustardseed Media was a site that a friend in the local Drupal Indy Group pointed me to. He had been looking for some good theming tutorials and found what he was looking for there. Mustardseed Media does a GREAT job of creating quick and to-the-point tutorials that will give you a good overview of Drupal functionality. These podcasts are good for new and old Drupal users. I found myself taking not on some of the suggestions they give in some of their tutorials.

Graphic Headers Without Losing SEO

One road block I've come across recently was the request to change all of my Drupal headers into stylized font headers. This didn't surprise me as far as the asthetics of the pages, but it did concern me about the "Search Engine-Friendly" aspect of the site. Fortunatly I came across this solution from Mustardseed Media.
