of a site before its built. It's about creating and setting the mood.<br>
<br>
You can see an example of the theme here: <a href="http://styletile.jes.se.com/" target="_blank">http://styletile.jes.se.com/</a><br>
It will likely look really strange as I was just testing a lot of the<br>
features.<br>
<br>
My concern about it passing the test is that, it is simply not a theme<br>
used for making a website or blog. It has one very unique purpose. I<br>
did not test it with the Theme Unit Test because it just doesn't make<br>
sense to.<br>
<br>
It did fail and mostly because I haven't built a full fledged theme:<br>
