I tried customizing this theme for my Movie Review Blog – http://www.themovieanalyst.com/ but had to change to a different theme for a couple of reasons

1. I was not able to show excerpts of posts in the homepage
2. The sidebar is not present in the blog posts. It appears only in the homepage.

For all the options that this theme provides, i guess these two could have been incorporated too!

But for these two issues, i think it is a very good theme.

Thanks for the review, Dan. This theme required a fair amount of experimentation to make it work, but the results amount to some very re-usable code, especially the RSS stuff.

In the end, I’m glad we made the theme customizable, rather than the original plan – an all Red Sox blog. That might’ve been a bit too niche.

What’s the problem with elevator buttons?

Very good. The Flickr photo box, though—whilst “nifty” as you say—does use “elevator buttons” for scrolling, which usability people don’t recommended.
