Wordpress

Since a week or two, I started looking into Wordpress. Last week I downloaded Wordpress 3.0 and started building a new theme. I'm developing a fully customizable theme for a family member. Coming from the Symfony framework and before that a custom framework with the Smarty template engine, Wordpress was yet again a new way of programming. It's still procedural based, but you need to build the widgets OO. 

I need to dive some more in all the hooks Wordpress has, that's some magic I haven't figured just yet. But now I've been busy for a few days, the development goes pretty quick. A lot of functionality is already present, like categories, blogroll, recent posts and comments. I just need to figure out how you can alter the output from a widget. Like the categories widget, I like to show them in a tag-cloud manor, but how to change the ouput I haven't found out yet. But I guess that shouldn't be all to hard.
