 * Hello to the WordPress World, it’s my first attempt to develop a theme.
    I’ve
   just installed WP 2.5.1 on Windows XP with the default theme and I’m trying to
   create a new theme named “iwi” Just to start from scratch I created the folder“
   iwi” under **..\wordpress\wp-content\themes** and there I put these files: index.
   php and style.css. The index.php code is the followuing:
 * **<html>
    <head> <title>First shot</title> <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”style.
   css” type=”text/css” /> <?php wp_head(); ?> </head> <body> <h1>IWI theme</h1>
   </body> </html>
 * The style.css code is:
 * **/\*
    Theme Name: IWI Theme URI: [http://wordpress.org/](http://wordpress.org/)
   Description: Dumb theme Author: Marco Dini Author URI: – Template: Brand new,
   no parent template Version: 1.0
 *  It’s a trial version just to start
    */
 * html,body{padding:0.7em 3em 0 3em;margin:0}
    h1 {font-size:200%; color: Red;}
 * This theme is listed in the “Broken Themes” section of the Themes administration
   panel.
    Why?
 * Thanks to everybody for your attention.
 * Marco
