Theme Problems
Filed under: Meta

I’ve switched back to the default WordPress theme for the site. The custom one Diego (and to a lesser extent, I) worked on seems to be getting flakier, and I decided that readability was more important than flair right now. The generators and user community have had a year or so to work on things since I last searched, so I’ll find a newer maybe even better layout within the next couple of weeks.
