 * I have a lovely HTML layout I want to use as a WP theme, how can I do this? I
   am familiar with PHP includes.
 * Here is the layout.

 * i would suggest finding a theme with a similar layout in the themes/extend area,
   then customizing with your specific layout and css needs.

 * I have a [tutorial for doing this on my website](http://anekostudios.com/2006/09/21/how-to-create-a-wordpress-template-or-theme/).
   There’s many sites out there that have similar tutorials, just google them. 🙂

 * Hello 🙂 I found your tutorial on how to make an HTML layout into a WP theme 
   very helpful, but I seem to have done something wrong.
    Here is a link to my 
   PHP files I created in .txt format to read. What seems to be happening is that
   CSS isn’t showing up! I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong :[ Also, I just
   discovered that when I go to PHP file separately, it works. EG: [http://audioh.po.gs/wp-content/themes/entwined/header.php](http://audioh.po.gs/wp-content/themes/entwined/header.php)
 * But when I go to my MAIN site, it doesn’t work.
    audioh.po.gs
 * Heres the PHP files in .txt format to read.
    audio.po.gs/wp-content/themes/entwined/
   style.css audio.po.gs/wp-content/themes/entwined/header.txt [http://audioh.po.gs/wp-content/themes/entwined/footer.txt](http://audioh.po.gs/wp-content/themes/entwined/footer.txt)

 * I didn’t submit this through your contact form because it keeps telling me Invalid
   input was entered and “A form mail injection attempt was detected. If you feel
   this was in error, please check your entries and try again.” 🙁

 * Audioh –
 * I checked my form, and it’s functioning just as it should be.
 * If you’re getting that error, I’m guessing you’re entering a URL? It won’t accept
   that.

 * `<link href="public_html/audioh/wp-content/themes/entwined/style.css" type="text/
   css" rel="stylesheet">`
 * That’s your error.
 * As stated in my tutorial, you have to associate the WordPres slocaltion for the
   stylesheet (or provide a proper link to it). The link you have is a server path–
   you need the correct URL to the stylesheet. Or just use the regular call to the
   stylesheet using `bloginfo();`
