I know this theme was designed for people who want a “simple” site, but I think sometimes simple is too simple. When I land on someone’s blog, I want to see a blog. I don’t want to see what I call a “splash page” like in this particular template with a few posts on a query loop with no Categories listed which is the usual case these days since block templates are being distributed. Template design has definitely changed since Gutenberg and blocks came along, and I feel like people don’t care to learn how to edit them to make them useful to browse. Some block templates are ok for what they are, but as a WordPress dot com customer, I’m bored with all the samey block templates they have been choosing to add to their inventory, and I normally don’t stay on someone’s blog for long if they don’t put any effort more than just loading up a template as is and calling it a blog.
