But, while working specifically on The Film Talk for Jett Loe, I developed/discovered…
First of all, I updated WordPress to its new version as soon as I was able. I've been very excited to see some of the new features they've added, and I have my list of the top ones to look foward to.

Enter the iWphone WordPress theme from Content Robot. It places a special theme in your themes folder that is accessed whenever you look at your site on an…
OK, if you tried to access the site in the last three hours you've noticed some pretty wierd stuff going on. Well, that's ok, because I've just given the site a complete and utter (well needed) overhaul. Some notable changes: There's a new portfolio system.
