I meant to ask: What happened to the last theme? Did it not work properly on the back end, with widgets, etc.? I liked that one and actually wanted to use it but didn't want to copy you.
Let me know.

It worked great. I just like having the content between the two side columns better.

Now that I know it worked great - could you share with me once again what theme it was. I thought I saved it but I didn't.

Thanks Mike.
