You can do some really fun things if you put your images/thumbnails in custom fields. If all your images are in the post, than your photos and text cannot be separated for design requirements.

Do you want computers automatically cropping your images?
I work with a CMS that automatically crops images into thumbnails. It is terrible for presentation and for photographers. Computer don’t know the difference from a belt to a face. The most horrific crops show up on our site.

Do you want fast page load times?
Using CSS to downsize images is a solution, but, it can dramatically increase page load time.

Can your theme auto-generate a thumbnail for the main page using a find/replace line of code, something along: "" notice that wordpress automatically creates a thumbnail version of an image.jpg with thumbnail.image.jpg, that's what line of code can do. I was also told that CSS can be used to downsize the full-sized image to 100% width of the container image instead. Any of this built into your themes would be extremely helpful and would pull me away from tubuluar themes and into Gridline immediately!

I'm glad to see you're incorporating advertising. The main thing I'd suggest adding is a spot for Video posts, it's certainly something I'm looking for as I put together my new site. btw, in looking at your gridline themes, wow. Just a nice use of the photos to pop the eye from place to place. Good luck and I hope demand stays strong for them. This looks great so far. I’m glad to see you’re incorporating advertising.
