Introducing the WordPress Theme Development Checklist Tool

Last weekend I was looking for an excuse to play around with JQuery, CSS3 and designing in general. After looking around for a bit I decided to make a more interactive version of the Theme Development Codex on WordPress Codex.

WordPress Theme Development Checklist Banner

My version formats that list for better readability, adds checkboxes and counters so you can track your progress, editable labels, and so on.

You can also download a copy for your own use. Click on the image above (or here: WordPress Theme Development Checklist Tool) to check it out.

Any ideas, comments, bug reports, let me know in the comments area.

    Have you thought about a way to make the list persist? Maybe HTML client side storage would be fun to try out…

    @anima:
    Haha, great!

    @Scott:
    That’s a nice idea. No, really, probably a great idea to learn about HTML5 Local Storage too. I’ll see what I can do about it.

    @Daus:
    You’re welcome!
