Glad you like the theme Jeff.

You made a good point about the admin sections being closed after saving. I'll be honest, that's not something I noticed during development. I've made a note to address this in a future version.

With regards to plugins, unfortunately the more you customise a theme and give options to the user, the more likely the theme will clash with a plugin out there as you are adding functionality that some plugin out there does too. But it's impossible to add functionality to a theme and be 100% certain that it won't clash with a plugin because there are thousands out there and more are released every day. There doesn't appear to be any problems with any major plugins though (apart from page navigation, which is built into the theme itself).
