I took a little time today and revamped the look of Acme Anvil Co. I'm now running the latest version of WordPress, and I upgraded several of the plug-ins that I use, and dropped a few that WordPress now does "out of the box."

It took a little longer than I anticipated, so some of you got to see the themes I considered, and even more got to see this one before I had it fully customized. Most of the problem came when I tried to enable widgets, a WordPress function which lets me put stuff where I want it in the columns; apparently there are incompatibilities between the latest WordPress code and the King Text widget; once I disabled King Text, everything worked fine.

There are a few more graphical things to touch up, but they're fairly minor. I did add the widget that shows how many spam comments I've gotten — it's at the bottom of the left column. Akismet is a pretty cool plugin, and as of right now, it has caught 8,522 spam comments!
