I was working on a project for a client that was a custom theme for a CMS. I took the default theme, and modified it until I got it exactly how I wanted it. It worked great and looked nice. Until, a year later, a major update to the CMS broke my theme. I looked at the CMS in agony thinking that I will have to redo the theme. I thought there has to be a better way. I found a better way, it is called Thematic. Thematic is a theme framework for WordPress that makes theme creating easier, and more resistant to upgrade problems. With it I can now make upgrade proof themes, woohoo!
