 * Can anyone provide assistance with how to activate the HTML5?? The theme states
   it is HTML5, but does not look great on mobile devices and smartphones.
 * Alternatively a plug-in to use??
 * Cheers

 * The theme uses media queries—@media sections—in its css files to implement HTML5
   responsive design. Everything looks okay on large computer screens and on small
   screens of phones.
 * In small browser windows of computers, tablet screens and phones, long Site Titles
   wrap to the left edge rather than indenting the same as the previous line.
 * Menus also look awkward on tablets and in small browser windows of computers,
   but look fine on the small screens of phones and on large browser windows.
 * We are still working on our site, but really like the theme, despite the minor
   problems with responsive design. _[[Link moderated](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Helping_Out)]_
   not exactly a sports site.

 * Moderator, If you are going to block the link, please the remove the entire post.
   The link is not spam. It’s to a local-interest, non-commercial website. I was
   using the link as an example since it has a long site title for the Sporty theme.
   If you cannot unblock the link for whatever reason, please delete this post and
   the previous one as your blocking the link falsely accusing me of spamming. I
   am not spamming, so please don’t falsely accuse me of that. Thanks.
