Good theme but not responsive. When will we see a responsive version of this theme, also with more CSS3 and HTML5
Hi Yavuz,
We’re in the process of updating all of our themes so that they are responsive, HTML5, and features of ‘CSS3′. The News Theme will probably be within the next couple of months, as currently we just finished updating the Tumble theme, and are working on the Tech Theme.
Thanks!
