 * New installation – on Hostgator, and I used their WordPress install
    option. 
   I’m using the Onesie theme – which is a portfolio presentation site- no pages,
   no posts, everything is in the theme options. Made many changes mostly in theme
   options, and these look great while I’m logged in to the Dashboard. Trouble is–
   when I’m not logged in, and I point my browser at the site, I’m seeing the same
   old default version of the theme – – –
 *  – – – – any ideas?

 * you are making changes to the theme options and they are not saving then you 
   should contact the theme author and if you don’t have the latest version of the
   theme then install the latest version and latest version of the wordpress also.
 * Secondly do you see the changes on your site when you are logged in on your dashboard
   and you visit your site.
 * Look like theme problem may be it is outdated … contact the author or share the
   link and further details so that we can see … thanks

 * – – – ah, thank you, pluspt2001 !
 *  – – – indeed, it’s the case that the changes are saved and visible
    when I log
   in, but not if I’m logged out and go to peterjohnstill.com
 *  – – – further details would be that I did a tiny amount of hacking the
    words
   that appear as part of the theme (“portfolio” > “traces”) – – – so I should do
   a clean install again (maybe try from the WordPress zip-file, instead of doing
   the courtesy-of-Hostgator install) and go step=by=step
 * (was, is, and will be the latest versions, downloaded from Graphic and
    Wordpress
   websites)
 *  – – – then I’ll get back to this thread – – –
 *  oh – and – silly question – – – is there some activation code I
    need to enter
   to get the thing visible to the outside world? I’ve seen no email from WordPress
   or from Hostgator with such – – –
 *  – – – thank you again!!! – Peter

 * ah well – – –
 * overnight – apparently as the Name-server assigns
    propogated over the net, the
   problem resolved itself!
 * thankyou again for the helpful response, tho’!
