Creating a Drupal Theme

I am working this weekend on creating a Drupal theme. Hopefully I will be kind of done by Monday. I you come by the site and find it to look especially plain, like plain text on a black background, that means there is no style applied because I am testing something. Don't worry and everything still works so just continue like normal. The problem with most Drupal sites is that they look like they were made with Drupal. I don't know if that is too big of a problem but it would be nice to have some style. I am going to try it out and see where I can get with it. I might need to wait another week before I can have the site like I want it. Maybe much longer, it is pretty tough.

Update: It is going to take a while longer. It was harder than I thought and my first attempt wasn't very usable. It was just a little kloogy. I am going to work on a module first and see how that goes. I need some more understanding about what is going on behind the scenes. I could modify an existing theme but I didn't think that was the way I wanted to go. I am trying to get started fresh so I can understand the way Drupal is trying to lay things out. So depending on the week ahead it might be done or it might not. I would like to get this done so I can move onto some other sites.
