 * This is a stupid question. But, does WordPress change every file in a theme when
   it updates? I’m planning on installing WordPress into a folder following these
   directions:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory](http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory)
 * It requires theme file code changes. Will they be overwritten when WordPress 
   updates?
