Today I upgraded a raft of things on this WordPress site, one of them my base theme.  And the site looked like crap-o-la.

Apparently, creating a child theme to avoid losing custom styling when upgrading the base theme… is virtually no help at all.

So it goes.  Spending the afternoon fiddling with CSS seemed like a terrible idea, so I just picked  a new theme.

It seems like most of theme authors assume you really don’t have much to say because most the the page is filled with header graphics, etc.  Well maybe this one (WP-Forge) errs on the side of boring simplicity.  So it goes.  It works and I like it
