Hi, guys I’m using ghost theme for the first time and im setting up a a small blog ad i’m using one of the existing themes. I want to make some changes to layout and typography, but i’m not sure whether its better to customize the existing theme or create a child/custom theme. for a small site, what approach would you recommend?
There are no ‘child’ themes in the Wordpress sense.
I’d recommend starting from one of the free themes and customizing from there. Another option (but better for typography than for layout) is to add any css changes to code injection. That allows you to update the theme without losing changes. But… if you’re looking to make layout changes (like reordering, adding or removing sections), then you’ll probably need to edit the theme.
Thank you sir. Appreciated
