I really enjoyed this post. Not so much for the generator, as for the last couple paragraphs. So many people have such a limiting view of just what is possible with WordPress using custom template pages.

I’m astounded how many people have just an index.php template to run all post display pages and don’t even cover the basics like single.php and category.php. And I’m not just talking about end users here, I’m talking about designers with dozens or even hundreds of themes under their belts. And they still provide just an index.php with their themes. Amazing.

And don’t even get me started on how simple and how ignored it is that you can now even add your own functions to WP by simply droping a functions.php file into your theme folder.

Any WP function that does not work just like you would like, you can rewrite with a slightly different name (I use DAM_original_func_name()) and alter how WP works without actually changing the core files and without having to worry about upgrades breaking it.

No one is talking about this stuff, Andy, kudos.
