  I am trying to create a sports blog with a layout something like this, that looks like something like this.
  http://dudesonhockey.com/

  I am wondering if people would suggest Mystique, or Vigilance, or one of those more straightforward, feature rich themes, or P2. P2 has comments that update in real time, which I like, and the other themes don’t. Mystique allows you to customize the layout of your “pages” not just like your home page, and has some other things that are good enough. I’m wondering if there are any other pros or drawbacks to these themes that I’m not aware of.

  And a question about P2, I’m now noticing that none of my post titles are showing up. It just has a square with my posting name, puckcircle, next to it, but no post title where you can click that will take you to the page with just the post on it. Where is this? How do I make it show up? That’s definitely something I want.

  Also to be clear, both mystique and P2 can have their content widths changed, as well as the background color, correct? No fixed background image problems here I hope?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Also I can’t see any of my “pages” with P2. No tabs for my pages, I have no idea where to locate them in this theme when I look at my home page. Where are they?

  Okay I figured out the post title problem. Now just the page locating issue for P2 that I know about. Any other issues I should be aware of in this theme, or in Mystique? I don’t want to derail my own topic and just focus on P2. Still interested in peoples thoughts on P2 vs Mystique and if there are any drawbacks I should know about for both of them. Thank you!

  Except now there’s another problem. I’ve noticed on P2, you can “reply” to the blogs, and there’s a comment box, but I don’t see the option to reply using your twitter name, facebook name, and all those things, like I’ve seen in comment boxes on the other themes. What’s happening here? Can I add that function?
