Though I didn’t have a great reason for needing a new one, there were too many things wrong with the theme I had. It would not allow for anything additional in the header, it was not widget friendly, and every time I edited a post, I would have to fix many funky line changes that would appear. So I found a new theme and went to work on personalizing it for my own likes.
