This week my friend Lance Willett wrote a [blog post](http://simpledream.net/2014/12/11/you-should-start-a-blog/) encouraging people to start a blog. I wasn't really inspired to start a blog since I already have one (heh), but after visiting his [blog](http://simpledream.net/), I _was_ inspired to change to the Twenty Fifteen theme that will be shipping with the impending WordPress 4.1 release.

The takeway? Sometimes seeing a site rocking a WordPress theme with a bold color scheme is enough for me to inspire a change.

For the last while I've been running the [Wilson](https://wordpress.org/themes/wilson) theme by Anders Noren on WerdsWords, and realized that Twenty Fifteen really accomplished many of the same aesthetic goals I had hoped to meet with Wilson.

Probably my favorite feature of Twenty Fifteen is the color schemes and ease with which you can set a color scheme then customize it to your own preferences. I think I'll be sticking with this one for quite a while.

Nice work from [Takashi Irie](http://takashiirie.com/), [Ian Stewart](http://iandanielstewart.com/), and the rest of the WordPress.org Bundled Themes team on getting Twenty Fifteen out the door!
