I try my best to make my themes work for everyone. However, due to the big amount of comments I’ve been receiving, I can’t give timely response to every request. I have since figured out a way to address those issues effectively with different priority set as follows:

Top Priority
If you encounter functionality issues (eg. themes display wrongly in Firefox), I’ll look into that as first priority and will try to address the problems within 3 working days. You can post the problem in the comment section of the most relevant theme page.

Note: My themes are not designed to work with ALL plugins. Unless you show me how popular the plugin is, please don’t ask me to fix the compatibility issue with the individual plugins. 

I consider a plugin as popular when the All-Time downloads in Wordpress is above 200,000. Take Wordpress Stat plugin as an example, the all-time downloads can be found at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/stats/ and it is more than 500,000 as of this writing. Therefore, we’ll fix the problem, if any, pertaining to this plugin.

However, due to the strict coding standard that I always adhere to, my themes should work well with most of the popular plugins.

Less Priority
For other issues, I’ll make your comments live and will address them whenever I have time. The solution is not guaranteed. I also hope that other users can help solve your issues while waiting for my reply.

However, if you are kind enough to make a small donation, I’ll give the first priority to resolve any of your issues. Simply donate to my Paypal via wpsubmit @ templatelite.com and specify your comment ID.

I hope this is the most efficient way to address your problems and requests.

I know how important it is to comply with W3C HTML and XHTML standards for ALL of my themes.

Most designers find it troublesome to comply with W3C standards. Their main concern is to make the themes look good but ignore the importance of W3C compliance. I not only make sure my themes look nice in all major browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome), but they are also checked for W3C compliance before each theme is launched.

The benefits of compliance with W3C standards:

• Compliance helps ensure that your website is accessible from a number of devices; from different browsers to the growing number of surfers using PDAs and cellular phones.
• Compliance will also help ensure that regardless of the browser, resolution, device, etc. that your website will look and function in the same or at least a very similar fashion.
• Compliance helps the search engine rankings as compare with non-compliant websites.

Now you can customize your header image with just a few clicks of buttons! This is done with the use of the GD graphics technique.

How does it work?
First, I will decide which area of the header to allow custom image. Then I’ll program that section and assign a folder for you to upload your own images.

How to make it work?
Very simple. After you have unzipped the theme, you’ll find a folder named “custom” (for Photo Frame theme) or “photos” (for Postage Sydney theme). Simply upload your image(s) with the correct size to the folder and that image(s) will show up in the header.

What is the file extension for the image?
Your image should be in .jpg format.

What if I upload more than 1 image?
Your images will be rotated when you click refresh button a few times.

As an example, look at our Photo Frame theme as shown below. As you can see, there are 3 photo frames in the header. I have programmed the theme such that you can change the image in the middle frame.

I have created yet another special effect for my Wordpress themes!

If you are tired of having the standard font style (like Arial, Verdana, Tahoma etc) for your header title, you can use my theme with special font.

Take a look at my Photo Frame theme. The header title is not the standard font.
