Okay, everyone quit snickering…. I know this is the default theme. Rather than try to ‘fix’ my old theme and all of the custom code that I had put in there, I decided to scrap it altogether. So just put up with me for a while as I build my first theme for WordPress. I’m going to keep this ugly theme to motivate myself to get the theme done and out there quicker. I started on it last night!

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.
