Important Information

Yes, like always it WILL break your site. (it probably won’t but i’m just sayin; it has a high chance on custom edited sites)  – No CSS entities were changed, just major CSS changes themselves to do the auto-layout-width sliders in the customizer.   Do not update unless you have time to kill to go to the customizer and get it looking just right for yourself.   (check out service pricing post if you need help, first two options are free)

Highlights

More customizer options including site width slider and sidebar sliders to change widths on the fly.
Support for Zappbar (beta) which makes your site responsive and mobile friendly
The return of Moods

(comic easel)
Landing pages for locations and characters that can be associated with individual pages you create. (yay)
