DRY
Don't Repeat Yourself
Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system.
WET
Write Everything Twice
Most WordPress themes are WET
CRY
Continously Repeating Yourself
Hope you are smarter than that.
Theme Templates
base.php
Doesn't escape WordPress Template Hierarchy. Keeping everything DRY
base-*.php
This still works.
base-<template name>.php
Extending templates
Static front page?
Copy page.php to front-page.php
About page?
Copy page.php to page-about.php
Gallery CPT?
Copy index.php to single-gallery.php
Keep functionality outside of the theme
