  It's strange that with all these thousands of themes out there there wasn't a good clean template for building a new one.

  http://www.plaintxt.org never seemed stripped to me, starkers is the one I used but it's full of leftover twenty ten references...

  I'll try the boilerplate one.

  This reflects the whole WP situation—it works but it is a clusterfuck UI-wise and you don't even want to think how messy under the hood.

  I forget how to find my way around a client's wp site I hadn't logged on to in a while, I can only imagine it must be hard for the client. I guess this is why it works for the industry:

  1. client pays for cms
  2. client feels too dumb to use it
  3. billable hours updating stuff for client using his cms

  • Yeah, for something that dominates the industry WP sure is less than ideal to work withukit
  • maybe it's one of those cases where the messiness makes people money....vaxorcist
