Let me know if it doesn't, will you? @Jay – Well, I’m not too sure if the plugin is compatible with WP 2.6 or it’s just an isolated case for me. Let me know if it doesn’t, will you?

I lmight be able to use this! I'm going to "test" it for sure. It's especially useful if you can get more than just a "preview image", and actually edit and play with it. I usually use a separate "temp domain" to do my customizing before going live. Definitely less hassle this way! Thanks for the heads up! Jay Oooh. I lmight be able to use this!

Glad you share a little about how you did it. It may be of interest to some. I just happen to be in the Mac environment.

This pre-testing/adjustment is really important, because one can get into endless delay when tweaking a new theme to get it acceptable, and sometimes a blog can be out of order for hours (weeks??). Your site is primarily for Noobs, and this is the perfect answer for them. I use Xampp (Unix/Apache/PHP) on my XP box to test and tweak until it is right and THEN upload the new theme to go live with it. There's the big bonus that all my code files are duplicated on my box and this is an invaluable back-up. Great to see you have CommentLuv in place and working. I'm sure your more 'pro' readers will really appreciate the DoFollow factor of it, and get the benefit of the back-links.
