I think that I have kept it clean, I tried to balanced aesthetics and functionality as best I could while keeping in minimal. It loads very quickly and has a number of subtle features.
This theme features Widgets, a clean readable css file, and printer friendly style sheet, variable title tags, multiple layouts, random homepage photos, minimal images to load, h1 titles on pages and posts, and many other specific things that I think make up a usable WordPress theme.
Note: while the site has a sponsor the theme does not, that is there are no sponsors links in the theme itself
