What's a Widget?
               "a small application with limited functionality"

●   RSS feeds, simple HTML,
    plug-ins, links, meta-data

    depend on your theme's
    options

    configure your own code, or
    find a plug-in you like
●   pay attention to settings
●   watch for compatibility issues
●   experiment!


                                                                  #wcn13ohmy
The Long Road to a Perfect Theme
         It's always best to start at the beginning


                                         Twenty Twelve
                                     ●   developed by the WordPress team
                                     ●   already fully responsive
                                     ●   simple customization options
                                     ●   easy to grow from




Ask yourself:      - what is my site's purpose?
                   - what is my budget? now? a year from now?
                   - how long will I need this theme?
                   - how much code customizing can I do?



                                                                #wcn13ohmy
