why no localization? Why do you not support language-files?

That is stupid and a pity! The world has many thousand languages!

  Wow, Connie
  
  Why so angry? This is one of many themes with many different features that develop over time. Besides, it’s Free!!!
  
  You seem a bit ungrateful that they didn’t include all the features you want in a “Fee” Theme. Think you could cut them some slack?
  
  Stupid would be purchasing a theme without the features you want… It’s a pity to bitch about the features of a free theme.

    I am angry because WP supports the language feature for so long time now and still I have the work to to edit theme files to get thethe needed language-output.
    
    Am I “bitching”? I am angry. And it is not ok to criticize free templates? Must I shout “Hurra they still ignore the language feature” ? ;=)
    
    Is the reason bare ignorance or is it cultural arrogance?
    
    Please take some time and check WP templates, those without supporting this feature mostly come from american authors, those who support the language feature mostly come from other cultural or geographical background.
    
    I tell you I prefer to edit language-files with POEDIT than to edit core theme files!
    
    And the argument that a free template differs from commercial ones is wrong.
    
    All these feature stuffed free templates, bringing the most actual gimmmicks … there is no real difference to commercial templates and commercial templates also ignore mostly the language feature!
    
    Adding thousands of Jqueries and Ajax here and Multimedia there – there is no difference between free and commercial and the language ignorance is in both classes.
    
    Maybe some day the theme developers will understand that language support is better for maintaining and updating good templates than editing the core template files!
    
    Cheers and Frohe Ostern!

Dear ~
Wow! It is awesome, simple and smart and so on…
But I have a question.
In Live Demo, the first section of main body is similar to second section.
Some of content being excerpted and image is shown. But full text of first posting is shown in my blog.
How fix it?
Have a good day.

Hi,

Great theme!

Is it possible to not display the big top post on the homepage?
So just displaying the odd and even boxes instead.

Thanks in advance for your response.

    to change the header text, you should modify the header.php
    
    in line 45, change with img tag where its src refer to your image:

The theme needs some simple changes to make it XHTML compliant. I’ve made these changes in my copy. Do you have an SVN repository where I can share the changes I made?

  Wah mas, kami juga belum tahu solusinya…mungkin terjadi konflik dengan plugin yang telah diinstall.
  Saran : sebaiknya setiap image tidak perlu diberi link, bila memang tidak penting.
  
  Makasih
