Do you guys start out by modifying the default (Kubrick) theme, or do you go bare bones and start with nothing (maybe just the function calls)? Is it really legitimate to strip out the Kubrick theme, style and rearrange it, and call it your own theme? This seems like “CSS developing” more than “Wordpress Developing” to me. Any thoughts?
