This is the first part of a series of blog posts that describes the process that I use to create themes for Mezzanine. In this case you will be following along as I create the theme Lucid, which you can purchase on MEZZaTHEME. Lucid is based on the responsive Twitter Bootstrap template that you can find here. Keep in mind that there are many approaches that could be used to create a theme for Mezzanine and this is just one of them. If you see something that I could do better, notice a bug, or have anything else to say, sound off in the comments below!
This post will focus on how I start out: modifying base.html. Since every Mezzanine template inherits from base.html, the base.html design and layout dictate much of the design and layout of your site. For this reason I always start working with base.html first.
