Joe,
I find this very upsetting
: I appreciate your readiness to share, but a bit more modesty would serve you well! Just porting this theme from cpg1.4.x to cpg1.5.x is a 30 minutes job. Given that you haven't done that very well - with the footer being misaligned and a silly admin_width token at the top and the menu icons only showing partially, I find it outrageous to stuff this theme with credits both in the code as well as in the output that link to your site and stand out more than the actually usefull links.
Labelling the links to your site as "author URI" is a blatant lie. It's studio ST and Gizmo (aka Billy Bullock) who did all the hard work. Compared to that the effort you put into this theme is less than 1%.
You have put your name and a link to your site into that theme many times over (I counted 10 times). Even labelling a link "Coppermine home page" and pointing that to your a shop of yours and messing with the theme's credits function was the straw that broke the camel's back that made me review that theme port of yours. Attached is v1.1 that has been stripped of the narcissistic reference to your site except for one link in the section where that link belongs. Added that to
demo as well. It probably would have been easier to perform the port from Billy's theme in the first place.
I don't want to discourage you, and we're very fond of giving credit where credit is due, but what you have done in your initial port as far as reference to your site is concerned was absolute overkill. Please continue your contributions, but credit yourself in an appropriate manner.
