WordPress, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways (in 140 characters or less).

Verify that:

• The post title renders the word “with” in italics and the word “markup” in bold (and “up” is ^superscript).
• The post title markup should be removed from the browser window / tab.

This is the post content. It should be displayed in place of the auto-generated excerpt in single-page views. Archive-index pages should display an auto-generated excerpt of this content. Depending on Theme-defined filters, the length of the auto-generated excerpt will vary from Theme-to-Theme. The default length for auto-generated excerpts is 55 words, so to test the excerpt auto-generation, this post must have more than 55 words.

Be sure to test the formatting of the auto-generated excerpt, to ensure that it doesn’t create any layout problems. Also, ensure that any filters applied to the excerpt, such as excerpt_length and excerpt_more, display properly.

Non-square images can provide some unique styling issues.

Latin Character Tests

This is a test to see if the fonts used in this theme support basic Latin characters.

There are a few things to verify:

• The sticky post should be distinctly recognizable in some way in comparison to normal posts. You can style the .sticky class if you are using the post_class() function to generate your post classes, which is a best practice.
