In the past few years, WordPress has grown to be arguably the most popular content management system out there.

The most popular form is a theme options page, but creating one is not as straightforward as you may think.
In this course you’ll learn the basics of creating your very own theme options page, and the result will be a set of tools you can use right away in your own theme.
