Twenty fourteen (what came with the installation) wasn’t half bad, but what tipped me over the edge was the hard-pixel encoding of the CSS. I’m a true believer in relative sizing. Maybe this had nothing to do with how frustrating I was finding it to make the modifications I needed, or maybe not.
The topic is WordPress themes, if the foregoing made no sense to you at all.
So I looked again, and as of now I’m customizing Michael Sisk‘s Inkblot. This is solid stuff that reconciles me greatly to having to live in an HTML world: flexible, straightforward, clean and clear, and as old-fashioned as I want it to look without a lot of fuss. Fantastic work.
