Yes, there is a jump.
I kinda liked it…
But that said, i am a weirdo.
I developed these themes last year as Kubrick began to grow in popularity, and while porting them to 1.5 is a nice thing to do (i guess.) i also see that perhaps my additions of menus and what not is not the best direction to go in.
I will rethink this, and port the remaining themes to 1.5 without the bells and whistles.
Ultimately I’m only creating themes as a basis for people who want something other than the core templates, and are not design oriented.
WP’s essence is very inclusive. And to take the idea of a “blog” ( a word i actually could never stand) further into new territory asks you to join us in learning something about code, php, and how WP works.
SO perhaps leaving my templates stark, and thoughtfully open are the best ways to allow anyone to make anything they like from the core design provided.
I mean, i am in no way qualified to deliver a fully loaded, all browser compatible, extreme theme or anything, and am not really interested in doing that.
But, to share and give people as refreshing, and unique place to begin this journey into WP is a worthwhile thing to do.
: )
thanks for the thought provocation.
