I don´t even know where to start, I guess the first thing I should do is say THANK YOU to all the teachers for the awesome courses you guys are creating!. For those who doubt, all you have to do is go for it, and take the time to create something, even if it is small like this theme, just do it.
Zac, man, thanks for wordpress track! I´m in love with Wordpress thank to you man..
I created a small blog theme, my main goal is to get it into the wordpress repository, I still need to fix some issues with the responsiveness, add additional custom post formats, finish the page templates, and more functionality. This is basically a beta test because I really wanted to see it alive.
Hours invested: Around 40-50 hours (It includes learning Redux Framework, and comming back to treehouse to review videos).
To create the theme I used, underscores.me as a base theme template, bootstrap, redux framework and advanced custom field.
These two examples were created without making any changes to the CSS or to any file, they were made using the Theme Options created with redux Framework.
I just started a new theme that I will share it with you guys!
Thanks!!

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 19,022 PointsGood work mate l am intrigued to know more about this redux framwork. is just for creating a theme options page or for creating a theme and its options page?
Andres Altuve
16,274 PointsIt is to create a theme options page, you create your theme and while you are creating it you use redux framework to add functionalities.
For example:
Lets say your theme has 3 different headers, you could use reduxframework to let users to pick one..
If you decide to give it a try and need help let me know.
