Trying a New Theme

August 21, 2007 by Lillie 

As you can see (unless you’re reading this post in a feed), I’m trying a new theme. I’ve been wanting a new theme for a long time and tried several when I upgraded WordPress recently. Since then, I’ve tried several others, but either the themes didn’t look right or I had problems. So I always went back to the old original default theme

I fell in love with this theme, but I still haven’t worked out all the kinks. I’m trying to get rid of the bullet points in the sidebar, and I lost paragraphs in posts.

But my biggest problem is that my threaded comments quit working. That was one of my favorite plug-ins, and I’m really disappointed to lose it.

Anybody have any ideas of what the problem is? I’d appreciate your help and suggestions.

I’d also like to get your feedback on the theme. Thanks!

  1. I really like the new theme. The threaded comments wouldn’t work on my blog either, and I’ve heard that from others too. Maybe it’s a theme compatibity issue?

  2. Lillie,

    I love your new theme! It’s bright, cheerful, and inviting!

    Sorry to hear about the problems you’re having with it, though, and hope you get them worked out very soon!

    Hi Lillie,

    I was directed here by Brad Shorr, whose site wordsellinc.com I’m putting the final tweaks on now.

    Looks like some of the things you’re trying to do are pretty quick CSS fixes, and I’d be happy to take a peek if you like.

    Feel free to drop me a line, and good luck!

    Yvonne,
    It must be that the plug-in isn’t compatible with all themes. I really loved it, but I love this theme, too. At least for awhile I’ll keep this and give up on threaded comments.

    Thanks, Jeanne. Yvonne may be right, and I might not be able to use the threaded comments plug-in with this theme.

    Question, are you still using the same theme?
