I want to re-do my blog. Better content, more like a magazine. For this I seek a very basic, minimal wordpress theme that is modern and responsive, though.
Preferably without the many javascripts (jquery, etc.) that blow the whole thing up always.
Can you recommend anything to me, please?

Don't use Wordpress?
Bloated, slow, vulnerable, buggy as hell, nightmare to work with...and those are just the positives lol
Don't have an alternative off the top of my head but someone on here's got to be using something better

Doesn't have to be wordpress at all. I am just familiar with it already and like it's backend editor for writing articles, e.g. automatic embeds of vimeo and youtube.
- I would stick with WP so your focus could remain on the content, just use a light theme, minimal plugs and a fast hostmoldero
- ^ yep. Wordpress is perfect for you.fadein11
- Who's a good host for wordpress?pinkfloyd
- I use (mt)'s dedicated WP hosting, its very good, I ran into other dedicated WP hosting some say is a lot faster, but their more $$moldero
- (mt) backs your shit up with 30 days of backup snapshots, you could use a plugin to do the same, but it makes the site more heavymoldero
- mt is $20 a month, that's pretty high for personal sitespinkfloyd
- I've seen great dedicated WP hosting that triples that price (mt) is great for the price and speed + you host 3 sites for that pricemoldero
- others only let you host 1moldero

I thought wordpress can be fast if it's optimized?
- ie. a previous thread, which I thought about linking earlier, so thanks for the minder, pinklvitch
http://www.qbn.com/t…detritus - optimisation won't do shit if there are a heckload of bloated JS scripts running though.detritus
- so a custom theme without all the nonsense will make it fastpinkfloyd
- yes. most themes on the market allow you to do unlimited customizations this causes it to be super bloated. With a super slim custom them, it will run great.dbloc
- yup, they bundle all the plugins on install, it really slows the fuck out of everythingmoldero

Do you know a name of a minimal and unbloated theme which is yet responsive already and has clean css, so let's me create a nice layout?
- it's really not hard to build a custom theme. If you know CSS, you can build a theme exactly how you want it. https://www.youtube.…monNom
