Talking Convert a FWT Template into a Working Wordpress Blog!

Hey everyone,

I had a little time on my hands so I've decided to take a template from FWT and convert it into a working Wordpress Blog and write a Tutorial for everyone to use so you can make one too!

I used the 'Party Time' template for this conversion. http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com/template4.php

The tut will take me a day or two to put up so in the mean-time have a look at the 'in-progress' example. http://gdsweb.ca/charity/

Let me know what you think, and stay tunned for the Tut!!!!

oh, and one more thing....when I finish making the site I will give it away for someone to use....

Simple to follow, easy and to the point.
Nice work - now even I can do it quickly and I'll bet CovertPea will give it a try.
