It appears that in the currently pushed D7 dev version of the theme, there are a number of block regions missing. These include the left and right columns, as on the blog page in the demo, the home blocks on the home screen of the demo. I believe there are more that I don't remember at the moment. Should these be present, or are they not yet included in the D7 release for some reason? I ask because the demo site looks to be in a much more finished state than the current dev release. Thanks.
This theme does look to be promising, though, once it is finished up. I look forward to a full release and the new installation guide. Any time frame on those?

the_g_bomb CreditAttribution: the_g_bomb commentedThe blocks themselves don't come as a part of the theme as I didn't want to make any assumptions about what content you wanted to add or indeed if you actually wanted the blocks at all, but they are very easy to add yourself.
To replicate the demo site:
Go to:
admin/structure/block/add
In "Block title" enter: Home Box 1
In "Block description" enter: Home Box 1
In "Block body" enter:
Under Region settings
For the boldy theme specify that this block should be displayed in the Homeboxes region.
Under Visibility settings
Set the visibility to:
Only the listed pages
and enter <front> in the text area.
Repeat this process for Home box 2 and Home box 3.
If you want any items in the right hand sidebar, then you can follow a similar process to set up a block for that region, but set the region to "First sidebar" and under visibility ensure you select "All pages except those listed", then input:

mrweiner CreditAttribution: mrweiner commentedAlright, sorry about this. It turns out that the issue above was more of a lack of sleep than a problem with the theme. It makes perfect sense to not include block in the theme. Also, the regions do appear to be on my blocks admin page, but for some reason I didn't see them (again, probably lack of sleep).
However, I am having one other problem, that I can file a new issue for if you would like. For some reason the User Menu is appearing in the site's Navigation Bar, no matter where it is placed in the blocks admin page. Here's a screenshot: http://imgur.com/swbWZ.
In the above screenshot, the user menu is assigned to the Homeboxes region, but still appears in the navigation bar. If it is assigned to any other region, it appears in its assigned region and the nav bar. If it is not assigned to any region, it still displays in the nav bar. I'm assuming that this isn't intended functionality?

the_g_bomb CreditAttribution: the_g_bomb commentedYou are right, that isn't intented behaviour. Perhaps it is to do with the primary and secondary menus. If you go to the theme settings page at: admin/appearance/settings/boldy
Check that Main menu and Secondary menu are both disabled. I do have a fall back that if the navigation block isn't to be enabled then these menus can both be output if they are not disabled.

mrweiner CreditAttribution: mrweiner commentedAh, I see. It appears that those user links were indeed coming from the secondary menu. Thanks.

the_g_bomb CreditAttribution: the_g_bomb commentedJust noticed an omittion in my above code for the block placement.
The right hand sidebar page exceptions should be:
under visibility ensure you select "All pages except those listed", then input:

a major Priority should be reserved for issues that produce errors in certain curcumstances, it is not how urgent your need for a fix is.
What is generally the accepted procedure when requesting support.
If you had followed these steps, you probably would have found the following issue #1532448: Superfish not displaying sub-menus . Which highlights an issue with the superfish menu documentation which can be viewed at: #1611488: V1.8 installation guide links to the wrong version of the superfish library.
It also offers a solution which is to download the v1.1 superfish library for use with the 1.8 superfish module, it can be downloaded from: library v1.1.
If you have any further need for help please use a more appropriate issue than this one as this issue is closed.
