That’s pretty cool.
I’ve got a theme switcher dropdown on the sidebar now. The default themes need some tweaking, but I’ve got to go to work now. See y’all later!
UPDATE: I’ve tweaked the sidebar on default WordPress pages to match my default sidebar. Some of the plugins, such as the collapsing/expanding extended entries and comments, which require me to tweak the index file, have not been added yet. Maybe tomorrow.
Although I’ve got vespers tomorrow afternoon. Rats.
Anyways, in case you were wondering, I found the theme switching plug-in via Google here. Despite being an early beta, I find that it works perfectly. (Although I did have to tweak it just a little to get the dropdown box to center properly.)
WordPress is really some awesome software. I love it.
ANOTHER UPDATE: OK, all the plug-ins except for the spell checker and the comment previews are working in all 3 themes. Those’ll take longer to fix, and I’ve got to be up early tomorrow. Will probably fix tomorrow afternoon.

Cool. Does the “WordPress Default” theme come as “default” in WordPress 1.4? (I think I remember you saying you upgraded.)

Oh cool. I just scrolled down further in my RSS reader and saw that you have version 1.5. Then I went over to WordPress’s site and saw that it has been officially released! Coolness of coolnesses! I’ll be installing that on own site pretty soon then. (I hadn’t wanted to mess with a beta.)

I am new blogging and Wordpress. I am using Wordpress 1.2 and style-switcher. I am thinking about upgrading to 1.5 and theme-switcher. The installation instruction is a bit light. Can you give me some more detail step by step instruction on installing theme-switcher?

As I recall, it’s actually pretty simple.
1. Upload the plugin to the Wordpress/wp-content/Plugins/ folder.
2. Go to your wordpress control panel and select the Plugins tab
3. Click the “Activate” link next to the Theme Switcher plugin on the list
4. Add this to your sidebar code in all your themes
<li>Themes:
<?php wp_theme_switcher(); ?>
<li>
or this if you want it the themes to be in a dropdown box, like mine are:
<li>Themes:
<?php wp_theme_switcher('dropdown'); ?>
</li>
5. Repeat step 4 for each of the themes you have installed
And, if I recall correctly, that should do it.
