A neat javascript home page featured slider, with thumbnail previews of previous/next slides on hover over the dots.
A “talking points” home page that can display posts according to tags, in order of most commented to least commented. A great way to highlight posts gathering dust in the archives.

A javascript home page video player with thumbnail hover effect.
16 delicious colour schemes to choose from!”
(2) Vulnerability Details:
WordPress Daily Edition Theme has a web application security bug problem. It can be exploited by information leakage attacks. This may allow a remote attacker to disclose the software’s installation path. While such information is relatively low risk, it is often useful in carrying out additional, more focused attacks.
(2.1) The code flaw occurs at “thumb.php?” page with “src” parameters.
