I use to just have over 30, but now I'm standing at 22. I still want to get it lower than 18, but that's only if I can. Thanks for mentioning the cross-browser point, that's very important for any theme developer. @James – glad to know you are aware of certain things like the number of plugins.

Everytime I make a new website, I prefer to give it an entirely new look, even if I use the same theme sometimes. I just simply love to tweak the design of a theme to my liking. One of the things I learned never to forget is cross-browser compatibility. Sometimes though I get fed up and would ramble to myself about the impossibility of people who still stick to using IE6. And presently I am very picky on which plugins to install as I realized that too many of them can slow down the loading time. .-= James Moralde´s last blog ..<a href="http://moralde.com/at-the-crossroad-the-choice-is-made/">At The Crossroad: The Choice Is Made</a> =-.
