Why the change?

It has been a while since I updated the look of this site so I decided to give it a face lift. And let’s face it, the old theme was really bad.

The New Theme: _tk by themekraft

From my experience with WordPress themes and general Web Development I knew I wanted to go simple. However, I didn’t want to go too simple because I like having the ability to customize my themes should I feel the urge.

I have plenty of experience using Bootstrap and love the simple but attractive designs so I decided to try and find a theme that came with the most recent Bootstrap libraries included.

With these goals in mind I went searching and came across several different options. But the one I liked the most was a simple starter theme by themekraft called _tk.

I was turned on by _tk because it is a very basic theme that does a very good job of integrating Bootstrap into Automattic’s underscores theme without any extra fluff. Since it uses Bootstrap then that means that it is also very responsive and therefore mobile friendly with no effort.

You can check out themekraft’s website and the github page for the _tk theme to learn more.

The New and Improved TheSamAllen.com!

With a new clean theme I am now free of the unnecessary noise that seem to be on too many of the themes that are available. I feel like this has made TheSamAllen.com much more appealing to myself and anyone who happens upon this humble blog.
