Please don't say download a theme and look. I couldn't get anything from there. I'm making my own code and I need to add a comment visualisation and a comment adding thingy, but google doesn't help at all so I'm asking here to see if anyone has done this and knows. Thanks.
You don't need to write your own code. Go look in the Administrator settings. It HAS to be there, else you might have an outdated/wrong installation.
See, the problem is that one, this is wrong: [QUOTE=eXistys;23055494]You don't need to write your own code. Go look in the Administrator settings.

If you want us to give you code, no, if you want us to help you explain code, sure, post it here.
I like how you exactly answered what I didn't want to hear. I said I looked on google and found nothing, and that looking at other themes doesn't help. I'm trying to make my own theme so I can't just copypaste stuff.
Umm a while ago some dude made a tutorial on the basics of making a wordpress theme, and he put up the result, which, by the end, was pretty much a template for a wordpress theme so you don't have to write all the boilerplate code yourself. Just use that, and do all the styling and customizing yourself. It is copypasting stuff, but that stuff is nearly identical across all themes so there's no point in not taking advantage of it. Let me find it.
Okay, I think I found out what my problem is: I've made an index.php page without knowing how making themes for wordpress works, so I put everything in there without thinking. I accidentally deleted it now, so I think it'd be okay to start over and make a decent one. Only problem is that I can find no complete guides for making a theme from start to end. Everything I find is small useless tutorials. Is there a good guide that explains everything? If yes, please link me to it, don't just say go to look for it. Thanks.

Ninja'd. :D
Thanks for that. I'll have a look to it later and tell you how it went. Thank you :D
