    great theme, so easy and minimal, i really like it.
    is it possible to offer this theme with widgets and maybe the sidebar on the right side?
    what i miss would be a “archives-page” but if someone knows how to make a unique, its not a problem.
    thank you for sharing this theme, i start testing immediatly
    greetings

    Very nice, but how do you order the page links across the top?

    Good question, Denise. I had the same problem before. But I can solve this by using this code to sort the list of pages by post-date:

    php wp_list_pages('sort_column=post_date&depth=1&title_li=');

    Of course I have to edit the post-date of the pages too.

    Which file and where should I place it?

    Denise, go to your dashboard, open Design–Themes Editor–header.php.
    Find this code:
    php wp_list_pages('sort_column=post_date&depth=1&title_li=');

    You don’t have to correct anything if the code is look exactly like that.
    What you have to do next is you have to edit the post-date of your pages.
