Drupal is a content management framework written in PHP that can be used to organize & display content, customize appearance and manage routine tasks on a website.

It is an open-source software distributed under the GPL (“GNU General Public License”) and is maintained and developed by a community of thousands of users and developers.

Drupal was originally written by Dries Buytaert, who still heads the Drupal project. Buytaert transliterated the Dutch word ‘druppel,’ which means ‘droplet’ to create the name ‘Drupal,’ in order to make an indirect reference to the community aspects of the project through the Dutch word ‘dorp,’ meaning ‘village.’ He opened the source code for community work in 2001.

Wordpress, one of the most popular blogging platforms of the world, has a large user base throughout the world. One of the main attractions for its users is the great themes contributed by the thousands of users around the world. Though in general, bloggers use the themes already available and contributed by other users, but sometimes there is a need to customize the theme or create a new theme from the scratch. Without getting to much in the history, let me show you how to create a Wordpress theme with as little expertise as possible. Keep in mind that developing a Wordpress theme doesnot require PHP expertise from your side. Just a little of CSS and working knowledge of XHTML / PHP will work.
