    How do I uplaod a custom logo?

    I see that there is a custom logo support in the functions.php, and your website also is using a custom logo above the site title. But I can't find the option in my customizer to so the same. Am I missing something? How do I go about it?

    Outdated Link to this theme footer.php

    The footer appears to link to https://wordpress.org/themes/kuhn/, but the theme doesn't appear there. Perhaps we should change it to this GitHub repo instead?

    Resolve Edge case

    Edge is a mess. Lack of grid-template-areas + minmax support causes irreconcilable differences between the site and the browser: https://twitter.com/idguy/status/869544849585864704

    To resolve, be more forceful with support requirements: @supports (grid-area: header) {}

    This will return true only when Edge stops being an edge case and gets its Grid shit together.

    Translation strings

    I am missing a few strings in the POT for translations. Is there any way I could get a mini update for these (for my site here)?

    Register a new widget in the header, add new widget to the header

    I thought I'd pass along I change I needed for myself. This PR registers a new widget ID'd header-1 and adds it to the end of the header/masthead. Could be useful for adding additional menus, additional text blocks, a search box, tag box, etc.
