When not perched on my workspace, I tremendously enjoy hiking in the bushes and climbing mountains. They serve as much-needed refuges from the pretense of cities.

Youll only be violating the guidelines if you expressly hide something solely for the search engine, like humongous block of keyword text.
OK, this feature is now available in the latest version 1.2 of the theme.
No, the theme will never upscale images. But if you use an image that’s wider than the device’s dimension, it’ll downscale it to fit the device’s width.
Quote:There is one thing that I’ve found wrong, and it’s only affected me twice before I figured out what it was. When I go into the dashboard from my mobile device and do an edit on the menus, or add something to one of the mobile theme’s menus, it blanks out the settings for the main theme’s menus. However, I rarely have a need to do that, and pretty much only noticed it because I was getting the mobile theme organized and playing around with it for a couple of days. So that’s no biggie to me, but I figured that you might want to be aware of it.That’s probably a side effect of the mobile switcher plugin. When you login to admin page using mobile device, the mobile switcher plugin loads the mobile theme, so the desktop theme is effectively not loaded at all. Not sure why the menu settings for the desktop theme is reset though.
I’m moving this topic to the Feature Requests section for your request with excluding categories on the front page.
There is no one right width, since different devices have different widths. It is for this reason that we’ve suggested that you use a header image that blends into the background colour.
As for JetPack, what it does is that it serves your desktop theme header image in its original size, and then scale it down to the full width of the device using CSS. This is very simple to do (and frankly quite lazy), but it also means that your mobile visitors will have to download the full-size image only to get it scaled down on their end using CSS. This wastes bandwidth, and images that are scaled down that way can have unintended artifacts due to the rescaling.
The Graphene Mobile Neo’s separate header image implementation is far superior to that, in that it allows you to create a completely different header image that you can tailor for your site to display on mobile devices. But you made a good point as well, that ideally if you choose so you should be able to upload images big enough to cover all the bases.
We’ll make improvements on that front in future update.
Keep in mind though that some devices with a full HD display will need an image as wide as 1920px to be displayed fully when in landscape mode – this is far bigger than any header image you’ll ever use on a desktop theme, and will have a big file size as well.
EDIT:
OK it’s done. You’ll see this in the next update, soon.
OK, marking this thread as resolved then. You can also do this yourself.
Try going to WP Admin > Settings > Permalink and resave the settings there.
Check also your .htaccess file for redirect rules, since the server returns the “301 Permanent Redirect” response code when trying to access the URL that switches to desktop theme.

March 30, 2013 at 2:09 am #37008You have way too many colours on your site there, they look incongruent. You can’t simply mix and match colours and hope that they’ll look good, as colours are complementary by nature. Some will look good together, some are best left apart by restraining order. If you simply mix and match colours without understanding the theory behind them, you’re more likely to do more harm than good.
I’m not a designer by any means, but do take a look around on the web and see how well-designed sites look like in terms of their colour combinations. It’s not easy, I should tell you that, which is why generally design is best left to the professionals, who invest countless time and effort to find that perfect combination every time.
This series would be a good read:
