I just discovered this theme recently and LOVE IT! You have designed a theme that thinks like I do!
Question: Today Wordpress is telling me there is a new version, 2.5.7 and no automatic upgrade path. How do I upgrade? And if i just delete/reinstall the theme, will I lose all my customizations? Is there a way to upgrade with out losing customizations?
Thanks again for this fantastic theme!
Upgrade from 2.5.4 to 2.5.7

Thanks, Kate!
Yes, if you delete the theme and add it back you should be fine - you will not lose any customizations. But that is rather funny behavior from WP.

Argh!! You probably have an older version of PHP. Can you verify if you are running PHP 4 or 5? Please see this thread: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16 . Might be a good idea to upgrade.
I am in the process of finalizing the next release, which accounts for PHP 4 as well, so you might want to wait a couple of days if you don't want to implement the fix that I have provided. You can download the 2.5.4 version here: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/down ... .2.5.4.zip if you want to restore the older version.
