Hi there,

I like to congratulate you for developing perhaps the best free magazine theme I could find for wordpress. Keep up the great work!
The only problem I have so far are a few errors and warnings I got when running it through the wp theme check plugin.

I am sure they are not a major problem but I believe it would be good to fix those as you may lose some users because of that. Maybe it also fixes possible bugs or problems with some plugins or simply speeds up the theme..and save you some debugging time..

Many thanks again for creating it! 

Here is what I got with the Arras theme 1.5.0.1 in WP 3.1.2:
