Comments on: Site updates http://crazybasenji.com/2010/07/11/site-updates/ I'm making this up as I go along... Thu, 05 Jan 2012 12:52:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Shawn K. Quinn http://crazybasenji.com/2010/07/11/site-updates/#comment-34 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 05:31:20 +0000 http://crazybasenji.com/?p=1092#comment-34 I’ve learned to not bother with updating the themes if I have things the way I want them. Back when I was using it, an updated version of Ahimsa was completely messed up by comparison to the old one and I finally had to dump it for something else. (That was actually two theme changes ago.)

I’m not sure why a theme designer would break something like a home page link. That kind of violates the principle of least surprise.

With regard to theme complexity, I’ve made my own theme from scratch before. Once (Quinn’s Big City). If I really need to do it again, I will. It’s possible, especially if guided by a decent tutorial (I was), but it’s not something I recommend just anyone try because there are quite a few non-obvious gotchas.
