 * I think a lot of people bail on the “classic” theme without even taking a look
   at it through the theme editor.

 * All I’ve done is taken the Classic setting and played with colors, tossed in 
   an image, added some text to the menus, and it turned out to be something quite
   different and (at least, for my satisfaction) a lot better from Classic.

 * I totally agree about the Classic theme – it’s got huge flexibility and is very
   easy to customise.

 * What people don’t realize is that you can do everything that all the seperate
   files do for a theme, by just using 3 files, index.php, comments.php, and style.
   css. It’s not as nice and seperated as the different files of a theme, but with
   all of the is_* functions, it’s pretty easy.
 * Very nice design by the way!

 * Looks good. Just a bit dark for my taste.
