Simone is a responsive theme orignally designed and developed by 
[Morten Rand-Hendriksen](http://mor10.com) available from the [WordPress Theme Directory]
(http://wordpress.org/themes/simone/).

The theme was adopted by Carolina Nymark in 2020, since Morten no longer had time to maintain it.

Simone\'s design is focussed on typography and aims to put the content front and center. 
Fonts are large and clear and scale according to screen width. 
On wider screens blockquotes and images can be aligned left and right to break out of the main stream 
and get a pull-quote effect.
The featured images are responsive through the use of the <picture> element resulting in appropriate 
image sizes being loaded to fit individual screen sizes.

== Changelog ==

=== 2.2.1 ===
Removed the legacy XFN profile link.
Added aria-hidden to the arrow icons that show after "Continue reading".
Legacy support for classic widget titles: Replaced heading level H1 with H2.
Changed the border radius and color on the menu toggle button.

Addressed requirements from the accessibility-ready review:
Changed the focus outline from dotted to solid.
Changed the aria-label of the menu in the header from Main to Primary.
Disabled the insertion of the core block patterns because the widths don't work well.
Added a screen reader text that identifies sticky posts.
Added a new h1 heading to the "posts page" (the blog page) when one is selected in Settings > Reading.
Removed the link from the post dates on archives.
Added a unique accessible name (screen reader text) to the "Leave a comment" links.
Removed numerous "Edit" links because they were missing accessible names. 
Changed the default color of the border of form text input fields, to increase the color contrast.
Set a 100% width on form text input fields so that the WordPress default "size" attribute does not 
cause a scrollbar on small browser widths when a 400% zoom is used.
Changed the heading level of the post titles in the "recent post" sections on the 404 page and search results page 
from H2 to H3.
Made sure the submit button for the search form is visible on the 404 page and search results page.
Reduced the number of aside elements. Instead of each widget using an aside element, aside is now used to wrap all widgets 
in the sidebar, and the section element is used to wrap the footer widget area.
Added an aria-label to the sidebar wrapper.
Reverted the styling of the HTML elements mark and ins to the browser defaults, to resolve a color contrast issue.

When the user has not entered a post title, the post id is now used to ensure "post links" have a unique accessible name. Example: Continue Reading Post #123.

== Features ==

=== Customizer Options ===
Extended options available from the Customizer:

1. Header background color
2. Header text color
3. Link color (changes link colors throughout the site including site title. Also sets color of .border-custom class.)
4. Optional Header image of 1280px x 300px
5. Sidebar position: Simone can be configured to display the sidebar on the right (default) or on the left.
6. Archive display: Archive pages show excerpts by default. This can be changed to display full content.

=== Widgetized Areas ===
1. Sidebar, max content width 300px.
2. Footer, max content width 320px.

=== Post Formats ===
Standard and Aside post formats are supported. Asides are displayed without headings or meta content in index pages. All other displays are identical with Standard posts.

=== Featured Images ===
Posts and pages can have Featured Images. On single posts and pages max Featured Image (Post Thumbnail) size is 1060px x 650px. On index pages the featured image is displayed in 780px x 250px hard crop.

=== Optional Social Media menu ===
The header features an optional social media menu which is displayed on the far right of the menu area. Social media icons are automatically generated based on the URLs of different social media services so a link menu item with a Twitter URL will automatically show the Twitter icon etc. To activate the menu simply create a new menu and assign it to the Social Menu template location.
The social menu is inspired by this [article by Justin Tadlock](http://justintadlock.com/archives/2013/08/14/social-nav-menus-part-2).

=== Extras ===
Simone ships with three border options for images and other elements that can be applied by adding a class to the desired element. The classes add a 1px solid border around the current element. The classes are .border-black (black), .border-gray (#b9b9b9 or 25% gra), and .border-custom (defaults to header color but is overridden by custom link color in Customizer). These classes are added to allow the user to add borders in a semantic and standards based way.
Note that from version 2.2, the theme supports border options directly in the block editor.
