I love to work with WordCamp organizers to fill in the topics that their community wants to hear. I was asked to do a 2 session presentation on PSD to WordPress at WordCamp Columbus 2012. I was honored to be invited back for a second year in a row to speak at their conference.
This presentation is NOT PSD to HTML and CSS. This is the part that does contain some short insight on how to visualize a graphic into is basic framework before applying the code. You WILL have to be familiar with HTML and CSS… though it is not required that you know it by heart as many web designers use web page editor programs much like Dreamweaver.
It is however, as I always emphasize… you should take the chance to learn basic HTML and CSS so that you are not totally reliant on web page editor programs as they may not have all the functionalities you truly need.
Please enjoy the podcast presentation for WordPress to PSD. I have also provided the Powerpoint so you can follow along.
Please note that minus the questions and discussion that was included in the hour and a half presentation, this podcast is about 55 minutes long. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to ask or share.

Great work on the podcast, Nile. Cheers!
Great stuff so glad I’ve Stumbled Upon this blog today. Some many knowledgeable post on this site. I try not to mess to much with PSD. Although i did one recently which reminded me why i don’t. All the slices in Photoshop is a pain for me. I had no idea nor did i even even think of turning a PSD into a WordPress theme. This is great as a lot of designers I know start off with a Photoshop design.
Thanks for making the podcast Nile! It was truly insightful. I never had an idea of turning a PSD into a WordPress theme before. Thanks a lot! Keep up the good work!
That was a neat presentation. I have a design in mind for my blog. Will try to design it first and then will convert that PSD to wordpress. Thanks for sharing…
Hi Nile,
thanks for this. I sent it to my husband, he is doing the PSD to html thing and he wants to learn some wordpress as well and I think he will find this very useful. Have a good weekend!

Nice post and nice presentation. Using podcasts and powerpoint make posts more interesting and appealing. I like your style.
Great information about podcast presentation. I was thinking to create such kind of presentation and this article will help me a lot. Thanks Nile Flores!
Pretty nice post .. Quite informative points are discussed here.
Such a great and informational tutorial! It is helpful, easy to follow and logical edited. Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks for your slideshow. I personally think that it’ll benefit more if you made an actual slideshow out of it. because you don’t say which exactly page in the slideshow you’re on and it is sometimes not exactly clear what you’re referring to. All and all, I liked it. 🙂
There is a slideshow with the podcast. I am not getting what you are saying. ????
Smashing share Nile! I have shared it all over the place! Hope you had a blast at WordCamp and met so interesting folks 🙂
