New themes i’ve been looking at

I mentioned a couple of days ago that i’ve been looking for a new design for talk playstation. Although the current design isn’t bad at all but i can’t keep it forever.

Upgraded to WordPress version 2.5.1

I’ve just upgraded to WordPress version 2.5.1 with no problems what so ever which is expected because the 2.5.1 fixed bugs and a major security hole.
