snicker, snicker

It’s not half bad. You did change the header graphic, so it looks nice.

Since you’ll be working on your first custom WordPress design, use the default as a starting place.

Also, if you come up with a static design, I’d be happy to help convert it to work with WordPress, just let me know.

Good luck. Everything went well for me, but I was waiting for the crash. I’m always suspicious something is going to go horribly wrong when I update WordPress, but so far it never has.

It happens [or] I know what that’s like. Good luck and enjoy this opportunity to reinvent your look and feel.

Great post title Image links were a bit buggy after my Wordpress upgrade, but otherwise it’s pretty slick.

I trust your new theme will look slickmatic!

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.

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.

I assume you mean tobacco, I quit 30 years ago accept for an occassional cigar, but I do not inhale

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!

Wow! This is one beautiful Wordpress theme you have running!!! What is it called?

Oh snickering not smokings, I also quit snickers bars as well

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.

Oh man! I was just punked by John Chow! Ouch!!!

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

[...] 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). [...]
