Mysterious Theme Switcheroo

Apparently, sometimes WordPress can kick your ass. Or so it seems. Late last week and Saturday, I put together a new theme for WebbyOnline which (hopefully) you are viewing right now. My reason for the design change is twofold:

1. The old one was really basic looking
2. The old one listed comments along the side of the post in a fixed width layout, which means that as this site grows and posts take on more comments, the layout would look really funky.

On Saturday, I finished the new layout and went “live” with it. Or, so I thought. I distinctly remember making the theme active. However, today I went into Google Analytics to view my traffic stats on this site and they were at record lows. I either scared everybody off or they weren’t being counted. So, I opened up IE6 (the other browser I hate using now, thanks to Firefox), cleared cookies and pulled up WebbyOnline. Sure enough, I’m staring at the default WordPress layout, with that big blue bubble rectangle at the top.

So, apparently anybody that came by here in the last few days thought I didn’t know how to use WordPress themes. I’ve made the correct one active once again. This time, let’s hope it stays intact.
