Hello, I plan on creating a new Wordpress website based on the Starkers theme, which is very minimalism and is pretty well been made for this purpose. However I was wondering whether it would be best to use a child theme (which I have done before) or to modify the theme instead. The author of this particular theme doesn't have a history of releasing patches but rather makes drastic changes with each version so the ability to update the base theme isn't that significant. If someone could please share the pros and cons of both methods, I'd appreciate it (and will rep). Thanks
