Requirements

The theme has built-in support for this plugins (but does not require them):

Install the plug-ins and activate them. WP-PageNavi needs no more fine-tuning. To use “Twitter for Wordpress” with your account, select Appearance & Editor › Sidebar (sidebar.php) in your blog’s admin panel and replace all three appearances of “cordobo” with your username on twitter (upcoming Alpha 7 features an options panel).

e.g.
href="http://twitter.com/cordobo" rel="nofollow"

replace with
href="http://twitter.com/USERNAME" rel="nofollow"

That’s all folks!
