 * Hi!
    W3 validator says, that there are errors with HGROUP in this theme:
 * Line 75, Column 10: Element hgroup not allowed as child of element header in 
   this context. (Suppressing further errors from this subtree.)
 *  <hgroup>
 * Error Line 75, Column 10: The hgroup element is obsolete. To mark up subheadings,
   consider either just putting the subheading into a p element after the h1-h6 
   element containing the main heading, or else putting the subheading directly 
   within the h1-h6 element containing the main heading, but separated from the 
   main heading by punctuation and/or within, for example, a span class=”subheading”
   element with differentiated styling. To group headings and subheadings, alternative
   titles, or taglines, consider using the header or div elements.
 *  <hgroup>
 * Is there a way to quick fix it?
