Thank you for this tutorial. Very helpful!
This is an excellent resource to begin to understand the wordpress frame
work. That being said, if you follow these instructions exactly it will
work. BUT at the moment there is a new wordpress version and you update to
a new version YOUR DESIGN WILL BE
OVERRIDDEN!. To ensure your hard work is NOT erased on the next update you
need to DO ALL OF THESE CHANGES IN A CHILD THEME. There tuytorials on that
here in youtube.
A great tutorial and a great series!
What an excellent tutorial … thank you so much
I have followed every step on this video for more than 3 hours. I just
can’t make it work and I’m almost in tears with frustration. All I get is a
tiny box in the top left corner with a broken link error. Nothing fixes it.
Does Twenty-Thirteen theme not work with these steps or something??
Please help. I really want to learn this.
Good job on the video in explaining how to customize! Thanks a lot!
Very helpful and just what I needed. Do you have any advice on an
alternate to DreamWeaver?
All in this series are simply the best there are. Step by step. Slow, clear
dialog and instructions. By the book instructions, What we will do – How to
do it – What we did. Outstanding in every respect.
Hello Mike, the video tutorial was excellent, and I learned a lot. Many
thanks!

At 1wd.tv it appears the only way to get the LabZip child theme is to spend
at least $99, although it’s “Normally sold for $37 on its own”. I woudn’t
mind paying the $37 but I don’t see any way to do so.

Hello Spencer! For some reason my wordpress is ignoring the header changes
that you showed. I tried to repeat and see if there’s a change, but I can
only see it working on my firebug, rather than on my actual site. Can you
shed some light and explain what it is that i should do differently?
not sure which one you mean? check our video library here, or at labzip dot
