== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Where are the theme options? =

Go to Appearance > Customize. Theme options are in "Theme Options", the colour scheme and layout in "Colors & Layout", and social icons in "Social Icons".

= My menus use "fa fa-..." icons. Do they still work? =

Yes. The Font Awesome 4 icon font is still loaded by default. If you do not use those classes, turn it off in Customize > Theme Options for a faster site.

= Post card images look blurry after updating to 3.0. =

Version 3.0 uses a new, sharper image size for post cards. Run the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin once to create it for existing images.
