This theme lets me pick my background and menu colours – TICK

This theme gives me a sticky post – Half Tick (I really wanted my sticky post to be displayed in full but I have gotten around it by putting all the text into a featured image)

This theme gives an image and excerpt of each post – Half Tick: The images are cropped at random! And the font size of the excerpt is way too small in comparison to the title and there are only a couple of words – I wanted a couple sentences.

This theme allows lots of widget options – nearly full tick! I like one side bar on the right, easy BUT this theme allows a different sidebar for posts, pages and the home page. I want the same and I’ve had to recreate it 3 times!!

I’m still using it but researching how to edit the code to increase the font size and still looking for other themes. I’ll get there eventually!
