Keep Development Alive
Are all the extra forms (includes) necessary? Wouldn’t it be easier to just put all the footers etc. in the page template?

There would be nothing to stop you doing it that way if you wished but it would make for a very complex page template so I’m not about to change the download.
Following the “Themes” discussion on the forum I have no doubt that at some point in the future I shall have to modify ALL of my downloads to suit whatever theme structure is adopted but until then…

this is a great-looking theme. Clean and classy.

Pardon me if this is rude, but I am having the hardest time adapting a 3rd column to this, do you have any templates for this that I could look at to ease the pain?

Have you had a look at Vladimir’s Serene? It is 3 column at 1024 and above but drops down to 2 column at lower resolutions. Very clever. You could always remove the “top_nav” and place those links into the sidebar.

I wonder how to activate the links under Archive
(By Category + By Month).
What changes do I need to make in what page or form to make the (dummy links) function?

Using the debugging function, it threw up a small error in the default page template – there are two instances of
<txp:sitename />tag that should be<txp:site_name />. Thanks.08/04/10
