New theme and Tyler videos…

July 12, 2009 by SWR

So I updated to a new theme that I am using on several sites I run. It is really really good looking (well, right now it is kinda only a little boring, but give it time) and will let me customize the look and feel even more. I am just beginning to scratch the surface [...]
