... consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds ...

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

I re-worked the default WordPress TwentySixteen theme into something far better. Not only is the display much more streamlined and compact, but the code behind it as well. The people who design these things overkill them into an unmanageable mess. Most of what I did was simply deleting miles and miles of repetitive unnecessary css spaghetti code and replacing it with just a few new lines. Most developers seem to think that more code is better. That is so wrong.
