In any other category I would say an instant rejection but in Blogger templates you never know.
-
Footer could be better
-
Typography is a not great and very different between home page and post pages
-
really not sure the italic post details works
-
side bar menu feels like a lot of empty space to the right
-
it would benefit from a range of home page layouts, posts etc.
-
main hero image in posts should fill the width of the post copy
