Hello everyone. I'm very interested in drupal theme creation. But can't find any manuals how to do that. And sometimes is very difficult to understand how themes working when looking at already made themes.
I have a made an html [http://kasykla.info/test/ ] and i need to convert it to drupal theme :) So maybe anyone know where i could find some good tips how to make drupal theme [drupal version 5.1]? Or maybe where i could find full list of tags used in drupal themes [for example $content, $node, $nid, $title etc.]. Thankz.
Sorry for bad english...

It's not really something that can be covered in a single post. I recommend checking out the theme developer's guide.

Other than that, the best way to learn is to download various themes and look at how their templates are written.

your best bet is to check out the theme files and study the page.tpl.php and the node.tpl.php also style.css

its basically html with a handful of php array functions for doing the drupal stuff

modify some of the node files and see what happens
though if you serious you probably should have a good grounding in html and particularly css
