@Anup: You’re right. The latest version hasn’t hit the WordPress servers (yet, anyway), so I didn’t know about it.

@Ploni: The updated theme didn’t fix the header, but while I was picking it up I noticed mention of a settings page for it. There was an option there for the height of the header, so I was able to adjust it.

Seems a waste of time to learn CSS just to fix that

@headgeek I guess you are not using the latest version of F2. The latest version incorporates the 'menu' system of WP3.0 You can check that on my website.

I like the colors of the theme….

To each his own. If this were a professional site, I might just fix the problem. It seems to just be a size problem on the subtitle field, not a font problem.

Then again, I might still use it as-is. It looks a lot more professional than some professional sites I've seen recently.

I wouldn’t use this theme on a professional site, because the font problem makes it jar a bit, but other than that, it looks good enough for a site that mostly caters to friends and people who stumble by.

It seems compatible enough to me. I haven’t seen any trouble with it in the three weeks I’ve been running it, except the slightly-too-small subtitle area described above. I’ve never had to ask for support for it or its predecessor either.

As for the rest: I am a programmer. I don’t know PHP, but programmers are well-known for caring a lot less about how something looks than other people.

Though this is a good theme – it is not updated to be compatible with WP3. The author does not respond to any support requests – and there is no forum also that self-supports this theme. So in a way, you are on your own. Unless you are a programmer and/or understand PHP well – this theme would (virtually) put off your website appearance by a decade.

I don’t know, it lacks polish I guess. Nothing “needs” to be done…
