Since the changes have been coming fast and furious these last few weeks I’m sure glad I use a Subversion client to connect to the WordPress Subversion Repository [...]

The latest design craze sweeping through the world of WordPress is magazine/news style themes. While these themes may be useful to those using WordPress as a CMS I would argue they are not needed for the average blogger.
