Back to a Clean Look for the Site

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

One of the things I’ve really enjoyed about starting up news blogs to talk about sports and highlight my photography, has been going back to some very clean, default WordPress themes, and the customizing them from there. The more I thought about it, in fact, the more I thought it was about time to do the same across all of my sites.

So, this evening, I’m pulling the trigger on changing up the theme, going with one of the default WordPress themes, Twenty Twelve, and building it out from there. I like the clean, unobtrusive look, I like the way it looks on an iPad, and I like going back to the basics.

Of course, if you guys see something you like, don’t like, or which doesn’t work, let me know, ok?
