The CFANS theme is a child theme I built based on the Genesis Framework by StudioPress. (Their base theme is great &amp; they are good at making sure that Genesis is updated frequently. Nothing has broken after any updates.) Getting all the divs &amp; php in the right place so that things work properly isn&#39;t that hard.<div>

Site maintainers can insert their own banner, pick 2- or 3-column templates on a per-page basis, and pick whether or not they want a horizontal top nav bar as well as something in the left column.</div>

Nice and clean! I like your sites much better than my Twenty Ten mod.<br><br>Did you build the theme from the ground up? If yes:<br><br>Did you run into any problems using your own HTML? Did WP ever try looking for a div that was missing, or if you get the PHP in the right place you are good to go!<br>

<br>Do version upgrades to WP impact your theme?<br><br>Is the same theme used for all three sites? Is a parent-child theme method used.<br><br>This is great inspiration! I think WP is going to be a seamless part of our web systems. Thanks for sharing!<br>
