Searched for a theme with a contemporary style and flexibility. Suffusion 3.7.8 was the best that I found.
Changed:
/wp-content/themes/suffusion/functions/actions.php
/wp-content/themes/suffusion/style.css
so that blog’s title was shifted over a character in header; and Featured Content’s sliderPager and sliderControl were centered.
Suffusion’s missing CSS3 border-radius style so no rounded elements in IE 9.
Updated Suffusion theme to version 3.8.1, which required redoing modifications so that blog’s title was shifted over a character in header; and Featured Content’s sliderPager and sliderControl were centered.
