 * I would appreciate any feedback/criticisms that you could give me on my new WordPress
   theme at [actionberg.com](http://actionberg.com). It works best in non-IE browsers,
   but should work ok in IE (just doesn’t have the fixed menu).
 * Also, does anyone know an easy way to grab the parent category of a post? I am
   wanting to do this so I can use the categories as a way to have “multiple blogs.”

 * Looks fine in Firefox 1.02 and degrades gracefully in IE 6 (no transparency in
   header). Regarding parent categories, can you provide an example/scenario?

 * Thanks for the help. I have to main parent categories, Journey and Thoughts. 
   Each post will have one or the other as the parent. When I am listing the posts
   for the main page, for each post I would like to know what the parent category
   is in a variable so that I can display a different image above each post.

 * The following snippet should help you along the way:
 * `<?php 
    foreach((get_the_category()) as $cat) {  echo(get_category_parents($
   cat->category_id,fales,'')); ?> } ?>

 * Perfect, that is what I was looking for. Similar to that, do you know of a way
   to hide the parent category? Like, I wouldn’t want Journey or Thoughts to show
   up in the post categories or the categories listed on the sidebar.

 * To exclude the categories from being displayed in the sidebar list, you can use:
   `
   <?php wp_list_cats('exclude=1,2'); ?>` where 1 and 2 are the category_id’s for
   Journey or Thoughts.
 * Hiding it from the post categories (I assume you mean hiding from the list of
   categories that is shown on the right when people are posting) is a bit more 
   difficult and will require modification to the base WP files however.

 * In my opinion, one of the best themes I’ve seen. A pity you didn’t enter it in
   the competition. The main titles might look better lined up with the left edge
   of the text in the posts as this wouldn’t break the “rounded effect” as the eye
   travels to the left and up. Excellent work, though.

 * Good point. That would definitely give it a better look I think. I previously
   had a much skinnier content section, but with the wider look, I think moving 
   the header text over will definitely give it a better flow for the eyes.

 * The general design looks good (I don’t like this transparency style, because 
   it significently slows down the scrolling in my FF 1.0.2. – but thats another
   thing). The font you’re using for ‘actionberg.com’ and ‘journey’ doesnt fit to
   well to the rest of your blog, from a typographical point of view. It’s a kind
   of a _sience fiction _ font, but the rest of your site is more serious. Otherwise,
   it’s a nice theme. =)

 * Why would the “transparency” slow down the scrolling? All it is is a DIV with
   a PNG as the background. I wouldn’t think that should slow anything down.

 * The slowdown isn’t specifically down to your implementation. The work down by
   the browser is slightly computationally expensive and can result in slowdown 
   on less spec’ed systems.
 * I don’t experience it but I remember noticing perceptible slowdown about 2 years
   ago on someone else’s system (Mozilla on a pentium 3 600 if I recall correctly)
   when that effect was employed. It’s really just something to be aware of.
