   I have used wordpress themes both bought and ones I have custom coded. However, as I usually start with the "starkers" base theme I usually find myself repeating myself.

   I have a few WP projects coming up that are the same functionality (pages, custom pages, blog, and custom homepage) but with different CSS/layouts.

   I would like to harness the power of WP parent child themes but not sure what the best option for me would be. Should I build upon the default twenty ten theme, use thematic or is the a better way to do this. I haven't used filters or too much custom WP queries before however I am an experience PHP developer so should be able to pick things up.

   I took a look at thematic last night but not sure if it is too overkill and although twentyten is a good start point there are too many functions that I feel I need to chop out.

   If any experienced WP gurus could give me their opinion that would be great.

   Thanks

   I have not tried Thematic before, but I do find Twenty Ten easy too use, you can do almost anything with it.

   With all the functions that are built in do you just overwrite them in your child themes?
