Is it a sin to smoke cigarettes? Where in in the Bible can I read that smoking is or is not a sin. Thanks. Hi, My name is Arno, I live in South-Africa. Is it a sin to smoke cigarettes?

Instead of stacking a lot of functionality into a single file (say, index.php or page.php), each type of page is broken down into functional units, which are then arranged as desired (kind of like "glossaries" in old WordPect). This makes page design and troubleshooting extremely easy, as compared to pouring through a lot of convoluted code. That's not to say I'm going to change the way I'm working now -- I've got a "system" going that's working for me. But, if I didn't, and were doing a lot of client work, I'd certainly give this a very hard look.

That’s not to say I’m going to change the way I’m working now — I’ve got a “system” going that’s working for me. But, if I didn’t, and were doing a lot of client work, I’d certainly give this a very hard look.

I can tell you unequivocally that the theme framework has saved us a ton of development time and our clients a great deal of money already. If you don't immediately see the benefits of the framework, then you likely aren't doing the sort of theme development that would greatly benefit from it. I'll likely put out some additional tutorials at some point in the future, but these things don't write themselves. :) I’ve written a great deal already, here and here; explaining the reasons for the framework and the benefits of it.

You know, I've took a look through Carrington, and it seems to me to be excessively complicated and far, far more difficult to use than normal WordPress theming methods. Perhaps you should write some articles explaining, in great amounts of detail, what the advantages and disadvantages are, because frankly, I'm not seeing any serious advantages. Because right now, the whole thing seems like little more than complexity for complexity's sake. Wow.
