Yes, your theme has very nice breadcrumbs! When you go to a post, you can see it right above the post title.

I am very fortunate to have a friend that guides me on blogging. One of his tips is the same as yours. implement gravatar. And that's one of the first thing I did during my first two weeks of blogging.

I don't know what bread crumb is but if you check my site, I do have menu-submenu on my banner. Is it also considered breadcrumbs?

Mine doesn't work on chrome but perfectly working on Firefox.

Yes, I think that an options page in a WordPress theme can be very helpful for those who cant, or who don't want to edit theme files.

Customizing the footer can also be helpful for some blogs. With some designs, it can be helpful in providing information to a visitor after they have read the content on a page.

Hi :)
I liked the 1st point of the list which you have mentioned :)
It can be used for any basic simple theme to make it a premium theme :)

There can also be added one more point ,
* customizing the footer
Almost all the probloggers and techies customize their footer to avoid the use of more widgets in the sidebar and make the blog more user friendly :) :)
What do you think , and if you can write about it , it will be great :) :) :)

Yes, changing the default Gravatar can be a good idea, because sometimes the "Mystery Man" just doesn't look right for some themes.

I like the idea about changing the default gravatar image for those who don't have one set up. This is something I'll implement into some of my blogs this week.
