There’s actually a reason for sticking to the default theme - I want people visiting for the content, not how it’s all packaged. Sure, there’s tons of great looking theme’s out there and I could probably get a nice custom theme made by professional blog design companies, but I’d rather stick with simplicity. The major advantage is probably the reduced loading times. No big fancy headers and stuff to load, so we’re not wasting your time here. I’m also keeping the amount of plugins to a minimum, just utilizing the ones I really love. Will do a post about the most useful plugins later this week.
I actually think that this is probably the most original wordpress theme to use these days as everyone else is using anything but.
