Comments on: How to build the new next generation theme http://wp-fun.co.uk/2009/03/26/how-to-build-the-new-next-generation-theme/ Just another WordPress weblog Fri, 05 Mar 2010 11:56:05 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: mercime http://wp-fun.co.uk/2009/03/26/how-to-build-the-new-next-generation-theme/comment-page-1/#comment-1358 mercime Sun, 29 Mar 2009 01:25:36 +0000 http://www.wp-fun.co.uk/?p=1146#comment-1358 Thank you for the post. The idea tickles the imagination. It's do-able in own theme playground but could be stressful for sites to be turned over to clients. Imagine Tools > Upgrade to WP 2.8 or later WP 3.0 and widgets not compatible - egads, calls from irate clients :-) Still, Thx again. Thank you for the post. The idea tickles the imagination.

I actually often tend toward the other side, going ahead and creating a custom template page for everything. I feel this makes the code more readable, but I might try something more like this next time I develop a theme. It's a cool idea. This is an interesting approach to be sure.
