# WP 3 Parent/Child Theme Framework Question

 * 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?
