Majority are currently for N2. Good idea but WordPress let’s you switch around themes anyway so it’s never final. Majority are currently for N2.

I thought that maybe the paragraph issue was because the person who wrote that theme doesn't know to put a space in between paragraphs. I use 'Theme Test Drive' which allows you to look at your own blog content in a test environment behind the scenes without committing the new theme to your blog until you know it works properly!

I'm writing up the front page now. Logo/banner/badge - the physical map of Britain under cloud seems nice [it's free Wiki by the way] and offends no one but we might lighten up the colours. Best maybe to avoid things like dragons and dogs unless someone can think of one - it's not a group but a movement. We'll need a 720px version, 425px, 225px, 173px and 125px to fit most sidebars and posts. I'm not pushing any of this - just thoughts. Can’t do yet – no rush – tomorrow afternoon is soon enough.

Have you tested the them live to see if you can have paragraph breaks? I am not sure what you mean about the theme bleeding from the navbar…

Have you tested the them live to see if you can have paragraph breaks?

Some themes might look nice but have issues - N2 does in that it doesn't give paragraph breaks and bleeds form the navbar. We need to adopt the site with the least issues and which looks best. Site's now reserved and the work begins.
