Hi,
I will be releasing the next version of the theme as soon as I can. It will contain the new header code, as long as some other features. For now, just go into header.php and edit the link to the relevant blog URL.Comment by Robert Day — October 24, 19:03

Is all that meta in the header for technorati or some other identifying service? I deleted it.

I’d love to rate this a 5, I love the look but I went to download it and the entire stylesheet is missing.

It should be included, I don’t know why it isn’t. If you still wish to use this theme, then send me your email at: robsw.day {at} btinternet {dot} com and I’ll send you the stylesheet

I love this theme, but on the single post page there is a bullet on the outside of the wrapper. How do I remove the bullet?

I’m thinking of using this, it’s widget ready correct?
It would be great to release this with a place for aheader image.
Any plans for that?

It should be widget ready once you download.
You can replace the header image by just replacing header.jpg. Although I may come out with a new header image.
Thanks.

The Pages, Archives, and Categories doesn’t show the submenu when I hover over it in IE. It works in Firefox though. Does it not work in IE?

Otto: Sorry, but the links won’t work in IE. I made this theme for better browsers than IE, although I understand your frustration, you could always put your important links in the sidebar?

this theme is perfectly modern and simple. It is ready as is (except for the changing the homepage link). The colors are perfect!…thanks.

This is a great theme, really elegant constructed. However, how do I make the category list display the number of posts in each section. Or just tell me where to look, I cant find it in the ’sidebar.php’ coding… probably because I suck.

Glad you guys like it
Matt: I would have a look in the Wordpress Codex, there is something in there about it, although I’m sorry, I don’t know any more than that.

Great Theme, it would be good if you could fix the header problem?
Comment by James — October 15, 15:10
This is a beautiful theme, Robert, thank you. Could someone please tell me (and, I suspect, James) how to “change the homepage link” as eloy ramirez puts it in the first comment? At the moment the template insists that my blog’s title is “Smooth Dirt” — and I can’t see an obvious place to make a change in the header’s code. I’m probably going about it the wrong way, of course …
