Hi,
I'm new to drupal and am still trying to get my head around it so please excuse my ignorance.
I have a custome html/css design which I have tried to convert to a drupal theme based on the numerous tutorials out there (mainly this one http://drupal.org/node/313510). I think I've done everything pretty much as the tuts have said but now I am stuck on how to test it?
Is there a way to upload your files onto drupal to see if they work?
Any help, feedback or comments will be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Dan

Some better info on converting html/css to a drupal theme:

To test your theme-- install it like any other theme and try it out. I would recommend specifying an admin theme (at admin/settings/admin) so if you have problems with it you can still access the admin area.
Hey thanks for getting back
Hey thanks for getting back to me and cheers for the links.
I'm yet to install a drupal theme at all yet and don't have access to the clients backend to create a database as of yet (and to be honest I'm not to crash hot on the developer side of things).
But I have stumbled accross this site which goes through drupal step by step: http://learnbythedrop.com/gettingstarted
Hopefully it proves helpful and helps me get my head around how this whole thing works.
Cheers,
Dan

ah ok-- there's no way to test out a theme without a drupal install though. You may want to set it up locally yourself-- completely separate from the client env.
Gottcha - am going through
Gottcha - am going through the steps of the local intall at the moment.
Just ran into the error. Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\drupal\includes\file.inc on line 902
So am just uninstalling and reinstalling the earlier version. Fun fun fun.
Thanks again for your help and quick reply.
Cheers,
