Sounds like a good start.
Most sites would have those categories when they are done, so they might as well start with a template that encourages them to organize their site from the beginning.
I’d also like to see a place to be able to reduce the size of the website header image. Seems like most themes waste too much space on the top. It’s easy to replace the standard headers with equally big images but I prefer smaller ones. At least a standard 728×90 would be nice. We could simply use a casino brands banners.
It would also be really sweet to be able to plug in rotating banner images and related urls’ as the header image. Save me the trouble and expense of creating a logo.
