README for Designers Default version .3
------------------------------------------------

Designers Default is a theme based on Michael Heilemann's default wordpress theme included with Wordpress out of the 
box. After doing lots of wordpress development, I found myself having to change the same things over and over again and 
reorganizing the structure and styles over and over again. This theme is really just a compilation of all those changes 
so I can start with a clean base. I am making it available to the public as I hope someone else may find it useful.
