Turn Adobe Illustrator Template into Wordpress Theme?
Can anyone give me any advice or direct me to a good tutorial on converting an Adobe Illustrator template to a WordPress template?

I've read a lot about doing this by using slices, but I've also heard sites built with slices are a nightmare to maintain. This site will be updated frequently so I can't have that problem. Also, the site's background has a gradient, so I'm not sure how slices would work with that.

If I have to use slices to make this template though I could go with a solid color, but the gradient is preferred.

Thanks
