Miklb’s Mindless Ramblings
A semi shameless plug, but I’m in the process of upgrading my quasi-popular blank theme. Basically it’s a set of templates and a CSS sheet, without the style. A great (I hope) way of creating your own theme, or just a way to get under the hood. The difference between this version and the first is that this one is attempting to be based solely on my own attempts at a bit more simple, semantic code. Thus the beta, as I’m quite open to suggestions, critics, and feedback.

Keep in mind, it was released in the spirit of sharing, and the fact that the original is still the single most sought after search item on my site. Collaboration is not out of the question, to say the least.

Andy Skeleton
Andy has posted a short tutorial for theme creators on effectively coding images in posts so not to break the design in IE 6, something often over looked in theme development (myself included).
For those not in the know, Andy is one of the brilliant minds behind the new Sandbox theme, and has incorporated many forward thinking ideas into it, this being just one of many.

Dev Lounge
In their first part of the series, they discuss the importance of the header file, and offer some tips on customizing the output. I’d prefer a little more comprehensive discussion, walking a new designer through all the parts of the header, not just some cursory sections.
