Not sure if I just missed a step or if it’s not hooked into the theme correctly. 16. The Status post format looks odd with an image floated left on the post… I nixed the background dotted line, but the Genericon (or whatever is producing the horizontal bar glyph in place of the title) is kind of distracting, too. 17.
