    First of all, great post! I’ve got a small question nagging me, I really love the theme of your blog and tried to install the same layout on my Worpdress site. However, there is some kind of strange coding error in the footer. Do you have any tips, which settings are you using? Please PM me on Twitter @Spellitloud or per e-mail.
