And question-in MT I used something that created the URL for the permanent entry based on the keywords, and if the keywords were not present, used the first, say 20 chars of the title.. will I be able to do something like that in WP? Trying to preserve old links, or if not, I will just blog anew from a new URL. You’ve pushed me over the edge– howz about sending me the plug-ins you use?

We seem to have the same wavelength thing going. At any rate the new theme is great and its good to hear you are keeping the spam out. I'm still moderating a few comments here and there, but all in all its been going well. Keep up the good work! Take it easy--> D’Arcy, new theme looks great … sort of funny that I was playing around with several new themes over the weekend … We seem to have the same wavelength thing going.

It had some more "whitespace" which made it more pleasant to me reading it. but hey there is also RSS-feed, right? the new theme could perhaps use some brighter colors. my 2 cent, regards, helge I found the style/theme before more pleasant, if not perfect.

I loved the other theme at first (probably because it is new, and I get sick of looking at the same design for too long), but I do prefer the Kubrick-based theme over Wuhan. I'm switching back to my Kubrick theme for now, but will try to tweak it some more when I get a chance. Helge, I have to agree with you.
