Features of this Theme

Posted on October 23, 2009 and last modified on November 2nd, 2009.

Features are what really make a theme stand out above the others. But in my experience, many of the features added to a theme are so confusing and hard to use, that they are simply not worth the effort. Consequently, one of my aims in creating this theme has been to keep the functionality of the theme simple, yet exciting. Whether or not I have managed this, you can decide, but here are a few of the features of this theme which hopefully add to its appeal.
