Expression Engine: Fresh Theme

Wolfgang Bartelme's Fresh Theme Screenshot

I'm working on a new Expression Engine theme. This time, instead of creating everything from scratch, I decided to use somebody else's design: the screenshot above was created by Wolfgang Bartelme of Bartelme Design. In fact, this was the design for the previous version of the site. Since he wasn't using it any longer, I asked Bartelme if I can create an EE theme out of it and he graciously agreed! I modified the XHTML, CSS templates to adhere to my own crazy standards; the layout and icons were all created by Bartelme. :-)I started writing a nice little tutorial (cue derisive laughter here) on EE but it spawned wildly out of control. So I thought I might as well do this properly and create a mini-series that tells EE-newbies how to create a (personal) websites from start to finish. Look for the first tutorial sometime soon!

Actually, the theme should be out fairly soon. I'm done with everything except for the comment form and comment preview. ;-)

Hi. I tried installing the theme on my EECore setup. I created all the files as you had described in the readme file. This the 1st time that I am actually using EE. The problem was that whenever I tried to view the index page, an error came it was

The following tag has a syntax error:

{exp:linklist:entries}

Please correct the syntax in your template.

Please tell me how to correct this. Thanks.

Yes, I did that already. But I really do not know what is happenning. Now when I try to view the index page all it shows me is a few images and the header links and the About text.
