Beside the default template, the rest are really not well designed. With the default template you can only use your theme for blogs. #139

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.When you apply the Tile template under HomePage
2.the theme doesn't resize the thumbnails so you have a really messy looking 
site (you could scale the image to fit a square, starting from the the top of 
the picture as this is the most relevant part of the picture)
3.Plus, the Post title should never be on top of the thumbnail because that's 
the most relevant part of the image (you should put it down instead of the date 
and comments count)
4.Plus, why are all things resize-able with only the exception of the Tile box?
5. Why do my sidebars dissapear from the HomePage when I use this template, I 
would like my website to have a certain repeatable pattern so I'd prefer my 
sidebars to remain?

What version of the ... are you using?
1. Wordpress: 3.0.4
2. Constructor:1.4.3
3. PHP: don't know
4. Browser: firefox 3.6.15
5. OS: Windows 7 Ultimate

What URL of your blog(s)?
1. http://www.varoginventati.radiointens.ro

Please provide any additional information below.

You should have a look at the Arras theme, it does a great job at solving the 
problems above using it's Nodebased Home template. I'm hesitating between your 
theme and Arras but yours is very customizable and I like that very much and 
I've seen you are very active in developing it so I'm giving it another chance

Another suggestion is giving the site owner the possibility to use your theme 
on a larger website, not a blog necessarily! By this I mean you should enhance 
the Tile or the List template. Because your default Homepage template is only 
for blogging purposes, it displays the hole article on the first page and this 
is not what a website would do. And also you should have only particular 
categories displayed in the Homepage, I mean to have excerpts or thumbnails of 
the latest 5 articles from Entertainment category or the latest 3 articles from 
Science and Technology category or the latest 10 articles form the Featured 
category; So, this way I have total control on all the articles that get 
displayed in the Homepage, this can be excellently used especially if you want 
certain articles to stand out (so you make a category of Featured articles, as 
I've said). Arras does this as well but your theme is definitively more good 
looking and so on..
