Yes, Carrington is a real theme framework (think developer frameworks like Rails for Ruby and Jango for Python, etc.) – not a parent theme. Carrington JAM is a bare-bones skeleton theme that uses the framework.

Suppose I take Carrington Jam 1.1 and build a custom theme with it: if you put out a new version like 1.2, I’m not really meant to upgrade my custom theme, am I?

Correct – there is nothing in JAM that has any upgrade value.

If a new version of Carrington Core comes out, though, I could upgrade the files for the core in my theme, right?

Correct again, and you get the new framework enhancements.

I'm not meant to create a child theme that draws on this, am I? I'm actually meant to take these template files and edit them directly, right? I just want to make sure that I'm not missing something obvious. Two other questions: * Suppose I take Carrington Jam 1.1 and build a custom theme with it: if you put out a new version like 1.2, I'm not really meant to upgrade my custom theme, am I? * If a new version of Carrington Core comes out, though, I could upgrade the files for the core in my theme, right? Thanks, ~randy I hate to sound dense, but Carrington Jam is not really meant to be something like a parent theme, is it? I’m not meant to create a child theme that draws on this, am I?
