More responsive themes—installation and configuration

But of course, we’re not limited to Twenty Eleven if we want an off-the-shelf responsive theme. A search for the terms—mobile and responsive, in the WordPress theme repository at http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ reveals 14 themes in total, so let’s have a look at some of them.

Scherzo—installation and configuration

Scherzo (http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/scherzo) was one of the first free responsive WordPress themes, released at the beginning of 2011. It includes options for the background and header, which give it some flexibility, but in my view its main selling point is the fact that it’s very clean and minimal, which would make it a great parent theme to add our own styling to using a child theme.
