The site is now running the latest (2.8.5) release of WordPress and a new LEGO theme I have been working on which is based on the Sandbox theme.  If you run into anything that doesn’t look right or doesn’t work correctly, drop me an e-mail.

The theme supports a number of color schemes and it will take me a little while to get them all done.  Right now I have three, red, blue, and green, working.  Adding colors isn’t hard, just picking some colors that look good together and adding them to the script which generates the CSS files.

I have installed a CAPTCHA plugin which adds a requirement during the user registration process to enter the code displayed in hard to read letters and shapes.  I apologize for the hassle but there wasn’t much of a choice.
