Upgrade, and Playing with Themes

I’ve just upgraded Mental Shrapnel to WordPress 2.0.5. There are plenty of good reasons for upgrading, so get on it if you haven’t already. It’s a quick and painless install — took me about 25 minutes.

I also decided the blog needed a new look. Rather than do the work myself, I grabbed one of the many excellent existing WordPress themes and slapped it on the front end. Don’t know why I’d never thought to do that before, but there you go.

This is subject to change at any moment and according to my whim, but for now I’m using a theme called Hemingway Reloaded, which I discovered via plaintxt.org.

On this day…
