There were a few changes to the database in WP 2.8 and some themes and plugins are still catching up. I'm not sure about Albeo... I do use <a href="http://www.expand2web.com/blog/hop/thesis.html/" rel="nofollow">Thesis</a> and highly recommend it if you are building a very customized blog/website based on WordPress. It is pretty plain looking out of the box, however, so expect to spend some time customizing it for your own style. If you are building a small business website for an "offline" business, I have a theme specifically designed to get up and running quickly called the <a href="http://www.expand2web.com/blog/smallbiz-theme/" rel="nofollow">Expand2Web SmallBiz theme</a>. When you activate the theme a custom options panel appears in the WordPress Admin that allows you to customize settings easily. Check it out if you are building that type of website.

When I went to the Wordpress site, the current stable release was 2.8 so that's what I'm looking at locally. The theme that is initially shown in the video above is Albeo, which coincidentally I've been trying to find, I couldn't find it in the Wordpress 2.8 themes... is it in there somewhere, do you know? Looking to the future, I know that you use Thesis theme... is that the one you would recommend for a website / blog rather than just a blog. Thanks for your great posts, I think finding your series on "using wordpress for a small business sites" was what got me interested in Wordpress. Hi Don
