Yay, we are (almost) done with SquidTop 2.0! Thanks for staying with us through this…
Some new features include:
- Upgrade to Wordpress 2.6
- A working SPAM system
- Theme changes (more info below)
We decided to change the theme for SquidTop, as well as provide a selection of themes for you all. To check these themes out, head over to your admin dashboard–accessible by going to your squidtop blog’s address and adding /wp-admin/ and click the design link in the top menu. You can then choose one of the themes you like from the list. We only have a few working now, but we plan on adding a bunch more in time.
The old SquidTop also had that big box on your blog that you could use to type out posts. We don’t have that anymore, unfortunately, and when you want to write a post you’ll need to go to your blog’s admin dashboard area and click Write to write a new post for your blog.
The new SPAM system will hopefully catch any nasties you all may be getting as well.
Some stuff might not work 100% yet until we get all of the kinks out. Just please bear with us.
Any questions, let us know!

Now this is what I call a decent makeover
Love the new look. Will be checking out the features on the dashboard.

Looks good, trying to get the hang of it though. My lens rank tables and some other part of my posts are now showing odd characters instead of the correct formatting, so I might have to try and find time to go back through all my past posts
and edit them so they appear correctly. Not sure what might have happened…

Poddy’s, mine too but I think it may have to do with the fact that I composed my mosts in Word and copy and pasted them into SquidTop. I composed todays’ post here and it’s ok. Maybe that’s it???
My problem is changing my theme, I go to design, I’ve clicked change theme and I see the choices but I don’t know how to “apply” them. Clicking on them doesn’t do anything? Help?

Whoa…it was sure a surprise going away for a few days and finding the new look upon my return…I’ll have to investigate further.

Blimey! (It’s a British phrase) I don’t log on for 24 hours and when I do, oh my word, it’s all changed! Just when I had not got used to the last layout. Oh well. It does look neat though.

I found a template that I like - it does most things for me and I think it looks better than before.
The only thing I can’t now do is get to this page and see the other Squidtop posts from everyone, but I added it as a link to my Blogroll, and that solved that.
The problem with the weird characters on my posts is I think where I had multiple spaces in a post. For some reason it chose to display as a strange character. I edited the posts for August, but there are too many to go back and edit them all.
