Notes

  • If you plan on using The Mighty Moo! as a CMS, you will probably want to look into using a post-ordering plugin like aStickyPostOrderER.
  • Make sure to use the custom.css file for all of your edits to the theme or else it will be a real P.I.T.A. to update your css when the next update to this theme comes out.
