Kim,

Brilliant! I plan on a theme change towards the end of the month and since it will be extensive, I’ve been wondering how to lessen the effect on the readership during the construction process.

Cool...scrolled up and read his comment (missed it last night). Now I'm reading his post on protecting content. Have a great day! .-= Rick Castellini´s last blog ..Printing Error Messages* =-.

Hi Rick – This will let you try things without affecting the visitors :-) Dave did point out, however, that changes to the widgets will change on both themes. Jeff also mentioned Theme Switcher, which has similar functionality.

Did you post this one especially for theme hounds like me? This could be dangerously upsetting for me and give my visitors seizures because I can't sit still with my theme choices. Very cool option, however. I promise not to abuse my new found power of trying out themes! .-= Rick Castellini´s last blog ..Printing Error Messages* =-.

Hi Nigel – I’m glad you like it. It’s really useful when you feel like breaking your theme. ;-)

I am not a developer neither I tried this plug in yet. But bookmarked the post in my reader. It will become handy if I want to switch the current theme of my blog. .-= Yohan Perera´s last blog ..Winning over worry =-.
