Hi, again. I updated to 3.4.9 which was the version available on the Wordpress theme page. I used the automatic update on the theory that I was going to update anyway, regardless of the outcome, and planned on just making whatever fixes were required. I backed up but so far looks like I don't need it. I reinstalled google analytics. So far I'm pleased. I had visions of my entire web page being wrecked but that didn't happen.
Is there any chance that a future revision can include a summary comments section on the front page like some other themes have? Please pass this request along. That was the one thing that I couldn't get with ATA but other factors outweighed that preference. ATA would be perfect (my opinion) if comments could be seen on the front. As it stands, every post has its own comments which are largely invisible.
