[...] Alright, after waiting a few days, checking the plugin compatibility list, backing everything up, and saying a few prayers, I’m about to upgrade WordPress to version 2.1. I’m very excited about the upgrade and checking out some of the new features, but also a little worried at the same time (especially after seeing what happened to Doug). [...]

I find this much cleaner than the old one. Hope you’re cooking something clean and elegant.

I fully understand. I my new site I was ready to go until I broke my theme as well. A little tinkering made things worse. I had to rebuild it. All while my previous – non blogging – site was down. Basically, I was almost a month without a website. And I’m a web business developer.

Wow – awesome support. Thanks everyone! I do actually like the simplicity of this theme. I’m going to see if I can incorporate some of the simplicity into my theme – my last one was a wee bit busy!

Hi Doug,

I think your “default” theme looks great! It doesn’t look as bad as you imagine. And I think you’ve just proven that even the “default” theme can look good with just some tweaking.

But, having a customized theme create an identity – that’s what blogging is about and we all need to have an unique looking blog that we can really show off to the world!

I look forward to seeing your new theme.

Good luck Doug. I’ve been putting off upgrading to WordPress 2.1 because I’m worried about suffering the same fate.

I’ve done quite a few WordPress themes in the past, so feel free to give me a shout if you need any help with it.
