Hi,

I am new to Drupal and am proficient and html/css. I can read basic PHP..

I would like to design my own Drupal theme. I read through all the docs and ended up more confused than when I started. With other CMS's I have found it easier to learn by starting of modifying an existing theme.

My question is can anyone recommend a really simply/basic Drupal 5 theme that I could start out on to help me wrap my head around how everything works and is laid out?

I'm really loving Drupal but not being able to do my own themes is very restrictive. Also, I would love to be able to upload some of my own open source templates as Drupal themes for the community to use..

Any help/advice or comments are much appreciated :)

I'm about to embark on a similar journey from a similar starting point :-)

What I've gathered is that your best bet is the Zen theme and the Zengine theme engine.
