Site Problems

We had some site problems since early the morning of 04/10/26, that resulted in posts not being loaded, although the main page was OK. The problem is with that theme, so we’ve been experimenting with new themes. No matter how good the previews are, we really can’t tell how it will look until we activate it.

So you’ve seen a lot of themes this morning. I apologize for this. I like this theme, though there are a few things that I would change if I could, but will keep things as they are for now.

Thanks for your pateince.
