 * Looking for a fine magazine theme which means basically: illustrated excerpts
   on a homepage with read mores link to a single post page, Magazine Basic is the
   best magazine theme I could find.
 * First to mention is the responsive display on all platforms thanks to the 12 
   column grid layout.
 * Great plus is the flexibility in the home page display in one or multi columns.
 * A bit of a problem is that the theme is not basic at all: in spite of its name,
   it is very elaborated in details.
 * In my opinion in a basic theme is should better not
 * – use google fonts in stead of standard fonts;
    – shape read more links; – change
   standard editor style; – change standard excerpt length; – use complex css for
   pagination style; – use extra css for link styling; – use extra css for sticky
   post; – change the look of post comments and 404 pages; and more so that it would
   be more easy to adapt styles in a child theme.
 * It would really be nice to have a truly basic version of this magazine theme.
