    How do I tell what version of the theme that I have?

  3. Hi Jacob,

    It’ll be indicated in the ‘Appearance’ section once you upload it to the themes folder. Email me at luke@govfresh.com if you have questions.

    I noticed a bug (or so I assume) in the style sheet.
    The css file contains this style:

    p, li {
    font-size: 1.3em;
    line-height: 1.5em;
    }

    This has a side-effect when a user makes a nested list. The child-list has a font size 30% larger than the parent list.

    For the site I am developing I solved this by adding this additional style to offset this effect for nested lists:

    p ol, p ul, li ol, li ul {
    font-size: 0.769em;
    }

    This decreases the font size for lists that are children of list items or paragraphs. The value 0.769 is approximately the reciprocal of 1.3.
