Finally I have a fully working content management system (CMS) made by me. I have put about 2.5 months on this theme and CMS. I have made the cms completely by myself from displaying the blog posts/pages/videos to the admin panel where I can add, edit and delete blog posts/pages/videos. Below I have a list of the main steps of making the final product.

1. Search youtube and the web to find out how to make a CMS
2. Find a theme to use as the design
3. Start to build a demo/example CMS for me to work off
4. Split the theme into sections
5. Add a database
6. Create the different tables and columns
7. Start to build the php functions
8. Use a function to get blog posts and pages
9. Make all the necessary files to load content
10. Start to figure out how to make the admin panel
11. Add to my example CMS to make sure the admin panel works
12. Make the admin panel for blog posts/pages/videos with the functions of add, edit and delete
13. Find a php login/register form on the internet
14. Make the login form work in the theme
15. Do all the final tests
16. Upload the new theme to my web host
17. Done :D

So those are most of the steps I went through to make the final product of swenflea.com!! Thank-you to everyone who helped along in the making of this new theme

Thanx :D
