Downloaded some Wordpress themes. Now what?
Hello, I have recently downloaded the Wordpress package from wordpress.org. I have also downloaded several templates, but the templates just have JavaScript, PHP, and CSS files in them. No HTML, which means that they just give me the files, not the template.
How am I supposed to create a layout using just the CSS, PHP, and JavaScript files?

Hi Wendy,
Wordpress themes contain PHP code called Template Tags, as well as HTML and CSS.
Because Wordpress is database driven, as opposed to static HTML, the themes use these template tags to integrate Wordpress functionality into a site.
In practice, you probably don’t need to worry about how a theme is built unless you are creating one from scratch.
Most theme customization is done using CSS.
Here is a link to the Wordpress Codex that explains how themes work:

I hope this helps.
