Theme URI, if used, is <b style="font-variant: normal !important; text-align: left !important; ">required</b> to link to a page specifically related to the Theme. If a demonstration site or page is being used, the content must be related to the theme itself.</li>

<div>Specifically, your credit links (AuthorURI and ThemeURI) are not appropriate:</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="webkit-indent-blockquote" style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div><b>AuthorURI</b> is a "personal accountancy" site</div>
<div><b>ThemeURI</b> is a news/blog post about the Theme on the same site, that has only a brief, two-paragraph description of the Theme. This is a subjective determination, but given the nature of AuthorURI, you have a higher-than-normal standard of appropriateness to meet with ThemeURI.</div>
