Upgrading to Drupal 6 and a new blog design
Over the weekend I upgrade this blog to Drupal 6 so I could take advantage of all the advancements that have been made in Drupal core and some modules that only have releases for 6.x. While doing the upgrade, I also decided that I'd create a new theme because I'd never really liked the old one.
I'm not much of a designer, so I took a lot of the images and CSS from the Admire Gray theme, by WorthaPost, which I love, but actually turned it into a Zen sub-theme because I really like some of Zen's unique features. I also took a lot of inspiration from CopyBlogger, ShoeMoney and ProBlogger for certain elements.
I still need to clean up a few things like the comments, but overall I'm really happy with how it turned out, except for my lame attempt at a logo which looks a bit dull and boring. If there are any designers that want to give some suggestions, I'm listening!

If you've survived the previous versions of Drupal, you'll probably see this version as an incremental improvement over them. Although there are changes and new stuff, I don't find the changes so compelling that I feel motivated to quickly upgrade my Drupal 5 sites to version 6. In fact, if you have an existing Drupal 5 site with a custom theme, you may need to scrutinize the changes in theme support before you rush to upgrade. On the other hand, if you are not currently using Drupal, then you should go straight to version 6. Compared to all the previous versions, this version is undoubtedly the best of the lot.
