Oct 31, 2011I prefer to use an “all-in-one” WP theme generator. in this way I don’t have to go to different locations, setting up new accounts, searching for additional plugins or free resources, fixing compatibility or copyright issues or working with the code. I use Lubith in order to design my themes and beside its other great editing options, the typography extension contained by this editor is more than enough for me.
