Keeping It Simple
I am a strong proponent of keeping things simple, especially with the Themes I develop and release to the WordPress Extend repository.
One things that is common amongst all of my themes is the lack of an options page. I believe that any functionality that requires an options page either can be managed by a plugin … or another theme. You could say this philosophy may be a gamble on my part but I do not think so.
If my end-users want to gamble, I imagine they could find a more appropriate place at an online casino playing poker than they will ever find using one of my themes.
Some end-users of my themes may really want that extra customization added via an options page, I choose not to create them for the repository versions of the themes. A theme, in my opinion, is all about the look and feel of a web site … let a plugin do the heavy lifting of changing a web site’s functionality.
Although I am always willing to listen to suggestions and requests for added features, an options page for any of my themes will most likely always be handled via the additional WordPress Services we offer.

Yea I feel you. This theme is great for newbies that don’t want to be too overwhelmed. I will definitely have your theme as an option in my blog building service..
Keep up the great work

Being simple is the best. Having a simple theme is very nice because it will not take so long to load the page using that theme. I guess that you theme will be used by me for my blogs. Thanks for sharing.
