Nice theme! Unfortunately it doesn’t validate (any more?). Check the link in the footer.
Just wanted to let you know. Keep up the good work.

Hi Alan.

Thanks for the answer. All works fine now.

@andyb0y,

Just include an Author tag in the index.php and the single.php files.

Here’s a link about the author tag: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_author

@Robert, I do not think it is really necessary. The title of the blog is a link to the home page. The navigation bar is a list of the Pages you have in WordPress. Perhaps you could create one that points to the home or just edit the header.php file and add something like this in an

tag.

”>Home

Hello.

How can I add a “Home” button in the navigation?

Many thanks.

I love the theme! I was wondering how to get the Post’s Author to appear at the top of the post so people know right away who it is?

@Jeff, thanks for the feedback, it’s appreciated. I’m glad you like the theme. I will be updating shortly to 1.3 – probably today sometime. I noticed a couple of small errors. Here’s what’s in the change log:

1.3
In content.css and wordpress.css:
* Added some line height to h2 article headings: A line-wrapped headline looked messy.
* Increased article paragraph line height just a tad; +0.1em. It looked a little too cramped.
* Modified colours of form elements to match theme: Input boxes and buttons, fieldset etc.
* Fixed pre element layout. Was running outside of article container.
* Fixed some .postmeta styling differences between articles and single page layouts.
* Added small amount of padding to ‘td a’ elements of wp-calendar widget to improve readability.

Thanks again

Thank you! I really like the theme. I’ve started using it on my re-launched personal site, in fact. I still need to tweak a couple of bits, but the aesthetics are wonderful for my (mostly) tech-themed entries (as you would expect, given its genesis doing similar service here). Again, gracias.
