Default Template for Designers

I’m interested. I will test it when I get a chance.

2 things I would suggest right-off,

(1) I found some really cool css class styles for common things like “Warning” and “Note” that are recommended for any blog. I’d say these classes should be “standardized” to appear in the Default and pretty-much every blog theme.

(2) Talk about Child Themes. Is it recommended to create modifications using the Child Theme method? And then it would be easier to follow any updates you may release for the Parent Theme? I’ve not made a child theme before now, but if I was using your theme (instead of my own purely custom theme) then I would probably want to look into children themes.

Thanks for your efforts so far!
