Further Into Minimalism

by Michael

This is the problem with themes.

When you’ve tweaked a theme to within an inch of its life it’s hard to let it go. This was what happened with Hemingway. I’d spent so long making it mine that the thought of throwing all of that way was too high a barrier to switching. It took a loss of inspiration (that I perhaps erroneously blamed on the theme itself) to finally get me to make a break.

The problem is that now that I’ve made a break I have none of the inhibitions against doing it again. In other words, I’ve become a theme slut.

While it’s been three months since I switched to Old Popular Yolk, I came across a theme today called Manifest. What can I say? It was love.
