Drupal 7 custom themes

I really need help.

I have decided to build a website with drupal so that i can add drupal to my skills, but i am starting to think i have made a big mistake.

I am a wordpress developer and have built most off my websites with wordpress. The probalm i am have is custom templates with wordpress i can just create a custom temaplate by add some shortcode to the head off my theme file easy.

How do you do this with drupal is it completely modular can you adjust themes 开发者_开发问答i am struggling trying to find a way off doing this. i started with drupal 6 and this was possible by doing the following.

page-node-17.tpl.php

i could just then assign this to the specific page with a node of 17, i have since switch to drupal 7 and this doesnt work.

Can someone please tell me if this is possible.

Thanks

Yes this is still completely possible, however, the naming convention changed. Now you will need to name it: page--node--17.tpl.php. For more information on naming templates, see Drupal 7 Template Suggestions. Also, the Theming Guide is a very useful resource.
