    Hi, really nice one! I am playing a bit with it, maybe it will go live when I decide to start a blog :) Just one question, where can I modify the code if I want to add the published-date to the posts in the homepage? Also I am trying to figure out if there’s a clever way to show the full text of the first post and leave the other with “read more”

    thanks!

      You can create a functions.php file and use the theme filters to replace the body text. :)

      I will post a tutorial on it soon.

      I was just curious about why the blueprint grid.css file is excluded from buffet. I would like to use it instead of 960gs, but I just want to make sure there isn’t a better way I should be doing grid layouts. Thanks for your help,

      Dave

        I’ll add it in the next bugfix release.

    Hi, thanks for creating and sharing this awesome theme, it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.. but I just can’t seem to get the featured, asides, and news categories to do anything when I set the options in the theme and then publish posts in those cats.

    all that happens is all the posts vanish from the front page.. is there any documentation anywhere that I can read as I really really want to get this theme going

    Many Thanks

    Martin

    I think what I mean is, Is there anything special that I need to do to get the theme to display as it does in the screen shot you have, with the featured posts full length at the top and then the 2 columns underneath.. this theme rocks! but I just can’t seem to make it happen in the admin options, so I’m not sure if there is anything I am missing etc..

    Thanks again for creating such an awesome theme…and your creativety

      Thanks!
      I’ll post up a tutorial on how to achieve those features using hooks and extensions.

    I know your very busy, so it’s ok.. but once I find something I like I turn into an insomniac trying to work stuff out, and I really love this theme..

    Thanks again for the WBF…
