Upgrading
30-Mar-2005Please stand by while I mess with WordPress as I upgrade to 1.5.
Update: I have decided to try out Conestoga Street which seems to be a nice, minimalist theme. I’ll see how it goes.
Update: I’ve installed Spam Karma. If you are reading this, please leave an entertaining comment so I can figure out if it’s working for users who aren’t me!
