A little while a go I read about an extension which could be useful if you know how to use dreamweaver and want to use it to adapt wordpress templates. The extension is called Themedreamer and allows you to open wordpress templates from within Dreamweaver by temporarily replacing the dynamic content with text. You don’t even need to set up a local server according to the feature list.
ThemeDreamer is an extension for Adobe Dreamweaver that can accelerate WordPress theme and application development by providing WYSIWYG (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get) feedback within Dreamweaver’s Design View editor in real time. Simply put, you do not need to mess with a server or even have to upload your files to see the vast majority of CSS and WordPress Template layout changes. Alterations are immediately reflected within Dreamweaver’s Design View.
You can watch a few videos to see how the extension works.
There is a free trial you can download which gives you 15 days trial use. I downloaded it to try out, then got busy and didn’t get chance to try it properly, so I think I will purchase it soon (only $29.95) and give it a proper try out. If anyone else has tried it I would love to hear how you get on.

Wow! Exactly what I was looking for, I’m a beginner with wordpress blogs, and it’s quite hard, especially to add a header etc. You need to know the html right, else you’ll keep failing.
Thanks alot for this!

Hi John
I hope it does what you need. Thanks for your comment.
Have a new job where I have just started using Wordpress. Thanks for this article. I am trying to learn as much as I can.
ThemeDreamer works it’s magic by automatically combining the WordPress theme files such as index.php, header.php, sidebar.php, footer.php and style.css into a single editable design view page in Dreamweaver. The changes you make to any theme file are instantly displayed in design view with the WYSIWYG power of Dreamweaver. All of Adobe Dreamweaver’s tools are at your disposal to create the ultimate WordPress theme.
