[theme-reviewers] A Question About Theme Review/Submission

[Ryan Frankel]

Justin,
  Thanks for your input.  

Tags: Actually, in the theme a User can't submit a actual blog post.  The whole system runs on a new post-type.

Sidebars:  I get these 'required' errors when I run theme-check....
	• REQUIRED: Could not find register_sidebar() or register_sidebars(). See: register_sidebar
 <?php register_sidebar( $args ); ?>
	• REQUIRED: Could not find dynamic_sidebar. See: dynamic_sidebar
 <?php dynamic_sidebar( $index ); ?>

Post Class: Understood, will fix.

You can go to http://swampbugs.com to see what the theme looks like as there is a demo on there.  My questions is....with the changes to WordPress in 3.1+ do these 'Requirements' still apply?  Is there a way to submit with some known 'Requirement' excemptions?
