NBCT Dev - Inital Thoughts

Before dis­cussing the changes I am making/plan to make, I wanted to men­tion why I chose this par­tic­u­lar theme for devel­op­ing.  There were a cou­ple of key points that sold me on the Notes Blog Core Theme.

• It’s free.  As much as I love some of the paid frame­works out there, I’m just not going to pay to develop them.  Oth­er­wise  I can just pay for a fully devel­oped, doc­u­mented, optioned theme, yes?
• I liked the gen­eral theme and style ‘out of the box.’  I could live with the basics while I developed.
• It’s clean.  Both the code and the styles seem to be pretty metic­u­lously coded.
• It’s light.  I’m com­fort­able enough with code that if I want drop­down menus or plu­g­ins, I can add them myself — retain­ing more con­trol over my site.
• It’s (rel­a­tively) new and there isn’t lots of doc­u­men­ta­tion on it already — so per­haps my devel­op­ment will be help­ful to someone.
