<div dir="ltr">On the topic of guidelines, and what's the right ones to use. When doing Theme Reviews, I've been using both these resources (along with the Codex & Chip's guide):<div><ol><li><a href="http://make.wordpress.org/themes/guidelines/" target="_blank">http://make.wordpress.org/themes/guidelines/</a></li>

</ol></div><div>Are they both the same & maintained inline with each other or is there a best practice to base reviews on one over the other?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>John</div><div><br></div></div>

<div dir="ltr">Yeah, I just found that after a bit of searching. Looks like this statement has existed for some time.
