########################################################################################## OVERVIEW ########################################################################################## Thank you to all who have taken a keen interest in my "Lemon Lime" theme in the past, your encouragement and suggestions have helped me to improve upon my first attempt and I hope that this release exemplifies that feedback.. My goal with this release was to create a theme that had far less dependency upon hacked WordPress core files, instead it makes use of a handful of plug-ins that help to generate some of the content such as the archives. For a detailed list of the plug-ins used with this theme, see the end of the document. ########################################################################################## LICENSE ########################################################################################## The "Lemon Twist" theme is copyright (C) 2007 Chris Murphy, http://www.farfromfearless.com/ and is distributed with the GNU General Public License, http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html. ########################################################################################## INSTALLATION ########################################################################################## Extract the theme into a your "wp-content/themes" directory and into it's own "Lemon_Twist" directory. Note the underscore in the name - this is important as some Unix servers have issues with a space character. ########################################################################################## VERSIONS ########################################################################################## "Lemon Twist v1.5" has been tested with WordPress 2.0+. This theme uses a "functions.php" file that facilitates some basic features, but if you wish to over write this file, do so at your own risk. "Lemon Twist v1.5" doesn't support Widgets, but this is a feature that you can add at any time. ########################################################################################## IMPORTANT ########################################################################################## I strongly recommend that you install the plug-ins listed in this document as there are blocks of content and additional features that rely upon it. If you do not want to use the plug-ins, I cannot guarantee how the theme will display. Be sure to test the theme before you use it. ########################################################################################## PLUG-INS: ########################################################################################## Name: Askimet Version: 2.0.2 Description: Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not.
