Upgrade!
Finally upgraded to WordPress 1.5. I was tired of deleting spam comments so I went hunting for a WordPress plug-in. I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to WP 1.5 in the process.
The upgrade went smoothly, basically replace all the files except the config file, then run an upgrade PHP script to freshen up the DB schema. Other than that I’ve spent more time messing with themes than doing the actual upgrade 
The theme will be customized shortly. I’ve got to get a hold of a decent graphic editor to mess with the header graphic. I also need to hack some code to add ‘links’ to the sidebar on the right. I didn’t notice when I previewed it but none of of the ‘friends’ links show up on this theme.
