[theme-reviewers] General Question of theme review

Harish me at harishchouhan.com
Tue May 21 00:26:46 UTC 2013 

- When reviewing a theme, how much importance should be placed to HTML & CSS
Validation? Should the theme have zero errors before its approved?

- I have reviewed my first theme ticket, would appreciate if anyone could
assign me another one.

Hi,

Just a observation: I have reviewed several themes for past weeks. It seems
that the_excerpt() become the only choice in the main lopp (e.g index.php)
for may theme authors.. I know it is not required to use the_content() in
the the guideline. I just want to know what is your thoughts on this trend?

Stephen

Developer prerogative. As long as the single-post view displays
the_content(), then archive index views are free to use either
the_content() or the_excerpt().
