=== Items of Note ===
* This Theme does not use Custom Header Images
* Posts without titles can be reached by clicking on the linked 'Comment' reference
* Posts without titles and password protected will not have a direct link to the single view of the post.
* Author email link will only appear on 'author.php' rendered pages if their website URL has been added to their profile.

=== F.A.Q. ===
Q: Why is the theme not using the WordPress core search form since Ground Floor version 2.1?
The update routine for WordPress themes overwrites the existing files with the files found in the updated version of the theme. If a file is removed in an update it must be manually removed from the website afterward. This does not affect new (re-)installation of the theme.

Q: Why are not all of the archive posts showing an excerpt only?
The archive templates are created to show as "mullet" loops where the first few posts will show in their entirety then the following posts will show as excerpts.

=== Internal Code Conventions ===
* Unique function prefix: `gf_`
* Expected theme slug: `ground-floor`
* Theme textdomain is expected to be the same as the theme slug: `ground-floor`
