Minor Theme Coding issues

I have run into a couple of problems with the sport theme, overall it does what it is suppose to do, but breaks a few rules that makes it not very good for search engine results.

Specifically, the over use of the H1 tag. H1 should be used once on a page, not for every item title. Right now each post title is an H1, it more likely should be an H2. Similarly, the headers for the sidebar items are also H1. They should likely be an H3 instead. Having too many H1 tags on the page leads to confusion, and Google may even consider the site an attempt to spam and thus discount it or even block it entirely.

The benefit of course here is that the font / color / size of each of these tags could be added to the configuration, making the theme more flexible.

Also, the post headers include the date published, along with the tag “pubdate”. That tag doesn’t pass Wc3 validation, and doesn’t actually appear to accomplish anything. It might be better just to remove it entirely.

Finally, my personal request is to have a way to redefine the width of the sidebar versus the body content. Fixed widths make the theme a little harder to deal with overall.

thanks
