		</div><p>I&#8217;ve been doing a lot of gearing up for change this year, both here and at my other blogs.  One change I&#8217;ve been considering is a switch to a theme framework, rather than a standard theme.  One such option is of course, the venerable <a href="http://diythemes.com/?a_aid=jdrdotcom" target="_blank">Thesis</a> theme famework, but for my personal needs at the moment, I wasn&#8217;t necessarily looking for that level of customization.</p>
<p>After much poking about, I found the <a href="http://themeshaper.com/thematic/">Thematic Theme Foundation</a>, and I&#8217;m giving it healthy thought.  It seems robust enough, and even though there aren&#8217;t currently a whole lot of child themes available right now, creating my own from scratch doesn&#8217;t look like it will prove to be all that difficult.  I may even switch over to one of the &#8220;out of the box&#8221; child themes for a few days, just to see how things play out.</p>
<p>I know that I could just spend the money for thesis and have the one single WordPress platform that everyone in the world is talking about. I know that they all say it&#8217;s simple to use, easy to configure and to be honest, just looks plain great right out of the box, but in the end, I like to be a little different and I&#8217;m kind of proud of that part of me as well.</p>
<p>Peace. I&#8217;m out.</p>
