Yes, You are right Chip.<div>I am currently managing my options under Theme Options page for the new version of my theme.

You could also just add a separate tab to your Theme Options page, if you would prefer to go that route. I don't know that one is a better practice than the other. I just separated out "Reference" because of the amount of information I am displaying.<div>

That's Great,<div>I have just activated Oenology theme and that is my answer. So it is better approach to separate <b>Theme Options</b> and <b>Theme Reference</b>. Support tab is nicely manged via remote data. Thanks for the update.<div>

Take a look at the latest version of Oenology: particularly, the "Support" tab of the "Reference" page. :)<div><br></div><div><font color="#888888">Chip<br><br></font><div class="gmail_quote"><div>

I don't see why not; although I wouldn't call it an "Options" page. Perhaps a "Documentation" page, or a "Reference" page?<div><br></div><div><font color="#888888">Chip</font><div><div>
