Thanks for your submission. There are several issues with this Theme:

See: Credit Links

It is nice to learn that you've lost weight, however that is not something we would allow nor use as credible link in WordPress repository. If you are still interested you can change the URL completely to another one/more related to Themes and re-submit your ticket.

Therefore currently this Theme is not accepted sorry.

Replying to emiluzelac:

I don't understand why the theme was denied. The rules clearly states the following:

"Author URI, if used, is required to link to an author's personal web site"

The footer link uses my name and links to my personal website StefanNilsson.com where I write about my everyday life. Thereby it clearly follows the guidelines. If I write about my food, travels and weight loss or computers shouldn't really matter. It's still my personal website.

Could you please clarify?

You also use:

<p>theme made by <a href="http://www.stefannilsson.com/" title="Personal Development">Stefan Nilsson</a></p>

Personal Development is considered SPAM

  • Credit link anchor text and title are required to be relevant and appropriate with respect to the linked site. Spam or SEO-seeded anchor text and titles may subject Themes to automatic rejection.
  • Theme URL does not contain any information about the Theme.

Thank you emiluzelac for your quick reply. So basically, if I remove the title in the link and add information about the theme on the Theme URL (was waiting with that for the theme URL) it will be approved? I can do this within an hour if it's ok?

Not a problem. Well it would, however we still need to do an actual review. I would suggest to make corrections, where your main URL will be acceptable as personal site and you can add some info about the Theme in Theme URL. Now, we're having so called "review-in day" where bunch of reviewers are working to review as much as Themes possible today, so yes there's a big chance that it will be reviewed again. But it does not guarantee that ;)

Now your Theme being not-approved is kind of good, because you're changing the priority number from 4 to 3 where review time is much faster.

P.S. For the site title (anchor text) you can have your name.
