I have to kick akismet, hello dolly and other default plugins from my blogs dashboard. I dont need them yet. I removed tinymce and all files inside too.

The reason is that i never using tinymce when create a new article.

It was work. I save around 1,5mb after i removed all files. If you have any idea which file i have to remove more, i would be glad if you drop your idea for me…

Why this blog is using default themes? I have some reasons why i am using this default.

I want fast, i dont want my visitors waste their time just for loading to my blog. I am always monitoring all scripts or files inside my themes that make my blog over weight. I will remove it if i think that script make my wordpress looks old..

There are many themes with minimalist view on the net, but i dont like them. Most visitors they need a time to be familiar with a new blog. I just want give them a familiar view by using default themes. Who dont know default themes, all Bloggers who work with wordpress using this themes when fist time they create a blog..

Last reason:
I dont have enough skill yet to work with anothers wordpress themes,
