[theme-reviewers] theme-reviewers Digest, Vol 20, Issue 32

Thu Jan 19 12:45:47 UTC 2012

Thanks Nitin and Chandra

Your explanations and suggetions makes sense. I have already emailed Emil
about my new URL to check whether that can be a valid one or not.
I have used http://themeportrait.knowhowto.com.au for Author URL. I hope
that should meet your requirements.

Thanks anyways
Rashed
