What Is This?
This is an experiment in seeing what “AskIt”, one of 87 WordPress themes developed by Elegant Themes (affiliate link), looks like in real world use. I do not trust the “Lorem Ipsum” technique of filling a theme with content as a way to demonstrate its character. I think it creates a false sense of possibility, as well as a limited understanding of the theme’s potential. Design elements which subtly (and not-so-subtly) dictate content are not encountered or given proper consideration. Thus, in the interest of demonstrating what certain themes are capable of in real world scenarios I will attempt to fill all 87 of the Elegant Themes with real content. I may not reach the finish line but it should be fun trying.
The “AskIt” theme in use here is intended to be filled with Question & Answer content. In that spirit I will douse this theme with as many joyfully obtuse questions and answers as I can muster in a given stretch of time. That “given stretch” basically means until I get tired of doing it. I don’t see any reason to tinker much with the format of this theme.
This site essentially functions as a user review of the AskIt theme for anyone interested in seeing how it works in the hands of a reasonably capable WordPress flunky, and who might be interested in hiring me to build a site for them that looks like this one. I have found that it is not always easy to find live examples of specific Elegant Themes in action, so this site serves to fill that gap.
