Oops – my apologies for cheating you out of 5 seconds..!

The thing is – some people would be very happy with 42 pre-installed themes. Particularly people who’ve migrated from WP.com, because they’re used to having a range of themes to choose from.

But it did create enormous bloat on my friend’s site.

Cheers,

Well, I wasn’t aware of such problems with 1 click installation(seems like I am with a good host! )
42 Themes and 8 Plugins? What were they(hosts) thinking?
Luckily, I haven’t experienced any problems like this but it will be helpful to keep the lessons in mind.
And one last thing, I STRONGLY disagree with:

It’s only a click of a button (from 2.7 on), and it takes about 10 seconds these days.

Because it takes only 5 seconds!

You’re very welcome!

I actually only intended that article answering the question ‘What is WordPress’ to be back to basics – the rest have been my usual approach of responding to questions I find in the forums.

Even that ‘What is WordPress’ post was in answer to a question

Glad you’re finding the info useful though – that’s good to hear!

Cheers,

Martin.

Martin,

When you announced you were going to renew your focus on more basic topics for WordPress a few posts back, I was a little disappointed. Since then, these posts have really helped me tweak my WordPress set up, and to understand why some of the things I had set up correctly are set up that way. Thanks for all the helpful advice.
