To make a “thumbnail” graphic: take a screenshot of your in-place blog. Open the screenshot in your graphics editor. Resize to appx 300 x 225 px, and save as “theme-name.png”. Load into the /wp-content/themes/”theme-name” folder.
Most themes will work just fine in 2.0. Some that have a bunch of unusual backend stuff will probably not work.
Alright. I’ll have to test my theme on it soon. Thanks.
Umm, hey. I have another quick questions here – how do you strikeout text? 😀
You mean if editing a previous post? Use <strike></strike> around it perhaps? Truthfully, I’ve never used it, so I couldn’t actually state categorically….
loading my longtime-using giraffe theme doesn’t even show up in the presentation screen
Pickiness alert:
<strike> should not be used.
Use CSS (hint: text-decoration) instead.
Also, I’ve found inserting an image called “screenshot.jpg” into the theme folder will cause a thumbnail to show up in the admin panel. It can be a png too, not sure about gif.
I’ve discovered that if you download the theme’s large image from the WordPress Theme Viewer, you can resize it perfectly to 300 x 225!
I’ve documented the steps I used here.
