Nice but quirky

I was using another grid-style theme on my site, but felt that it was keeping some information that I wanted my readers to see a little too hidden by only having a footer widget area.

I gave this theme a try, and like that the widget area can be a side-bar, while keeping the grid-style layout.

However, this theme does have some quirks.

It steps on TinyMCE pretty heavily, making the font impossible to read. (I’ve worked around this using Ultimate TinyMCE for now).

The grid sometimes doesn’t render properly.

In some cases (like on cell phones) the menu gets rendered at the bottom of the page and is difficult to navigate.

Overall a nice theme / template. It needs a bit of clean up, and some additional options (like being able to move the side bar from left to right, for example) to make it a great theme.

I have to amend this review as this theme is getting more frustrating to use. I’ve run into yet another issue: when posting an Episode using the PodLove plugin, the Featured Image dialog disappears. If I disable this theme it is available again.

I’m also a bit irritated by the lack of response to the support forum posts I have made being ignored. One of the posts has been up for 3 days without a response from the theme author. However, he was able to take the time to respond to this theme review.
