The only thing that is fully proper is the keyword (dateless) sniping theme. Basically, he does 2 things. 1. He makes it so that it's compatible with All-in-one SEO plugin 2. He makes it so the sidebar instead of having h2 headings, it's h3. I won't say which theme, but one of the ones I downloaded didn't even do #2. Also, in one of Court's posts, he recommends an alternating h1 tag. I didn't check all of his themes but all the ones I downloaded didn't do this and had some aspects that were hampering SEO (excerpts for one that doesn't let you bold when it excerpts on your index). Court gives great advice but it's always worth the effort to discover and learn for yourself. I too have used Court’s themes but I have to say, he didn’t fully SEO all the themes.
