Samuel: Thanks! Glad to hear it :-) Kojiki: I checked out your site in Firefox for Mac and it appears to work well. I should let you know, this really isn't the place to report bugs. It's much better to report them over in the WordPress.com support forums.

Sweet looking theme! (:

BUT even more important to me, fully responsive. Can’t wait to try it out with WP 3.5!

Thanks John! Your site looks great, nice work customizing things :-) Answers to your questions:

Favorite browser: Right now I use Chrome for Mac.
Included with 3.5: I would expect it to be in 3.5 for sure. It also will be available in the WordPress theme repository before then.

Still loving this theme not only for its beauty (I can’t stop staring at Open Sans; it’s gorgeous) but for its functionality. I love the classy image borders, too. Subtle and smooth, especially on lighter images.

I also appreciate how easy it is to customize. My ONLY complaint about the theme is that the date is buried too deeply in the entry-meta line in the footer.

So I moved the date so it appears first, followed by Categories and Tags, separated by a “|” so it looks a little more streamlined than the default sentence format.

Example: http://www.johnbierly.com/5677

The way you structured the entry-meta line in the code with numbers that correspond to categories, tags, date, and author makes it really easy to move them around, even for someone like me who’s VERY uncomfortable when it comes to code.

Everything I’ve learned about themes and codes has come from asking questions to your staff about Theme Foundry themes I’ve purchased over the years. You guys are the best.

Drew: Gotta be a bug with Chrome, specifically Chrome for Windows. On my Mac, an ellipsis shows up just fine on Chrome. On my PC, it doesn’t. Weird. Works just fine on Firefox, Safari, and my mobile phone (where Twenty Twelve looks especially beautiful).

Do you have a personal favorite browser?

Congrats again on Twenty Twelve. I’m running the version uploaded on August 21. Beautiful theme. Can’t wait for the completed version! Will it be out before WordPress 3.5 on December 5?

John: Good find! Sounds like it's a bug with Chrome? Don't worry about the extra comments, nice work getting to the bottom of it. Also, thanks for continuing to support us and buy our themes, we appreciate it :-) Tomas: I'm pretty sure this was fixed at some point, are you running the latest trunk version? Eva: Thanks! That's so awesome that you chose WordPress. Welcome aboard :-)

I’ve been using Dreamweaver for years, but find it increasingly expensive to update and time consuming to stay up on the rapid changes for on line content. I’ve looked at many many alternatives like Weebly, Sandvox, Adobe Muse, RapidWeaver and WordPress. My site is pretty big, so changing platforms is a major decision. Until I saw the Twenty Twelve theme… it’s spot on what I’m looking for and I can’t wait for its release. This theme tipped the scales – I’ll be building my new site in WordPress!

One more remark. It looks that shadows for the pictures are applied universally, but should smilies get shadows too? I would think that they are part of the text, so perhaps there should be CSS style to remove shadows for smilies? Example:

Okay, this time I’ll really shut up. But! It has to do with the command in the code that turns a typed ellipsis (period period period) into an ALT+1033 ellipsis. It works in Safari, IE, and Firefox, but not in Chrome.

Please don’t let this ellipsis saga make you think I don’t love the theme. I do. It’s so clean and fast and functional. Love it. As a purchaser of four Theme Foundry themes so far, it’s nice to see that handcrafted touch getting some major play as the new default WordPress theme.
