Thanks for your great efforts with this theme. I'm exploring the 3.1.1 version and have some questions-

How do you remove or change the little "box" next to the links in the sidebars? I haven't been able to locate this in the options.

Is it possible to display the post counts in the sidebar next to the link, rather than below it?

I've been attempting to change the default color of the blog title in the header. Regardless of any colors that I configure for this option, the default color always is what is displayed.

In the BFA subscribe widget, is it possible to display the subscribe image links horizontally rather than vertically in the sidebar?

Lastly for now, How do you change the horizontal bar that separates the last post on the main page from the older entries link?

Great work on this theme, donation on the way!

See Widgets -> Widget List Items -> Left Border Width For Links

It should have been that way but it somehow slipped through, will fix in 3.2

I've been attempting to change the default color of the blog title in the header. Regardless of any colors that I configure for this option, the default color always is what is displayed.

This one slipped through as well, it was already prepared but not finished, will fix in 3.2. For now you could add the style manually in style.css.php line 270 between the (currently empty) curly brackets, i.e.

h1.blogtitle a:link, 
h1.blogtitle a:visited, 
h1.blogtitle a:active {
color: #cc0000;
    }

In the BFA subscribe widget, is it possible to display the subscribe image links horizontally rather than vertically in the sidebar?

There's no option for that, you would have to edit functions/subscribe.php line 23-48, i.e. like this - basic version:

PHP Code:

<table class="subscribe" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td><p>
<a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=<?php echo $id; ?>&amp;loc=<?php echo get_bloginfo('language'); ?>"
<?php if ($bfa_ata_nofollow == "Yes") { ?> rel="nofollow"<?php } ?>>
<img src="<?php echo get_bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/feedburner-email.gif" style="float:left; margin: 0 7px 3px 0" alt="" /></a></p>
</td>
<td><p>
<a href="<?php echo get_bloginfo('comments_rss2_url'); ?>"<?php if ($bfa_ata_nofollow == "Yes") { ?> rel="nofollow"<?php } ?>>
<img src="<?php echo get_bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/comment-feed.gif" style="float:left; margin: 0 7px 3px 0" alt="" /></a></p>
</td>
<td><p>
<a href="<?php echo get_bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>"<?php if ($bfa_ata_nofollow == "Yes") { ?> rel="nofollow"<?php } ?>>
<img src="<?php echo get_bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/post-feed.gif" style="float:left; margin: 0 7px 3px 0" alt="" /></a></p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><table><tr>
<td class="email-field"><input type="text" name="email" class="text inputblur" value="<?php echo $field_text; ?>" 
onfocus="this.value='';" onblur="this.value='<?php echo $field_text; ?>';" />
<input type="hidden" value="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~e?ffid=<?php echo $id; ?>" name="url"/>
<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo get_bloginfo('name'); ?>" name="title"/>
<input type="hidden" name="loc" value="<?php echo get_bloginfo('language'); ?>"/>
</td><td class="email-button">
<input type="submit" class="button"  value="<?php echo $submit_text; ?>" />
</td></tr></table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Lastly for now, How do you change the horizontal bar that separates the last post on the main page from the older entries link?

See "Next/Previous Navigation" -> "Style the Navigation BOTTOM Box"

Thanks for the quick reply. As updates are released for version 3.x.x of this theme, will it be possible to update directly over the current 3.x.x theme, or is a complete reinstall and recustomization necessary for each update?

John

The next update would overwrite the 3.x files and keep using the existing 3.x settings in the database (all the theme options). Any manual edits to templates would have to be re-applied though

It was different from 2.x to 3.x because so many things had changed I wanted to start all over
