The other day I did an upgrade of wordpress and decided to totally change my theme in the process.  The base theme I started with was fUnique by Frederik Fahlstad.  It was already a wordpress theme, but was 3 columns.  I trimmed the second column out, widgetized it, and cut the css down quite a bit.  I modified the graphics to use my repeating header and graphics.  I also stuck in some of the Silk icons.  I still have some minor tinkering to go, but all in all, I'm happy with how things turned out. 

A nice side effect of my theme upgrade produced what seems to be substantial bandwidth savings.  I know the markup is cleaner and the css is much more compact.  Also, this theme is much less graphically intensive.  I did not get any kind of before and after measurements, but my web stats show the bandwidth usage going down.  Nice.
