Issues from Previous Reviews

• Fixed. Licensing changed to GPL from CC

• Fixed. Author URL changed from email to ​http://openbrian.wordpress.com/

Code Quality

• 404.php - Some content more than merely the basic "Error 404 - Page Not Found" message - should be displayed such as some helpful text, a search form, a list of Post or Pages, etc.

• archive.php - Include wp_link_pages() to support navigation links within posts.

• functions.php

1) if you're going to support custom menu, then please do it properly. The function is incomplete and there's no call for custom menu anywhere in header.php or in regular pages. To see the proper way to add custom menus, check out ​http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/06/01/goodbye-headaches-hello-menus

2) register_sidebar is not properly implemented. Check out ​http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/11/08/sidebars-in-wordpress

3) delete if function_exists conditional for automatic_feed_links as it is a required feature for themes submitted to WP Theme Repo

4) Themes are required to use a unique slug as a prefix for all custom function names, classes, public/global variables, database entries (Theme options, post custom metadata, etc.)
