Awesome Free Theme with Many Extra Features
I really enjoy this theme. The widgets make it easy to customize to your liking. The only complaint was needing to modify the footer.php file to remove a block before the widgets begin because it looked tacky. It is a rare theme with many extra customizations other free themes don’t offer. Kudos to the developer and thank you!
