    wordpress - from a 2 column blog to a 3 column blog

    so to test it i installed the wordpress script on a testsite, and copied the 2 column theme from my active blog to there.

    Then i made three columns of it, i added an extra "leftmenu.php" file in the theme folder and some changes in the other php files plus the stylesheet.

    My question is, once i tweaked the 3 column design on my testsite til perfection, can i just copy the new 3 column theme and overwrite my old theme of the active blog without any more changes? Since i dont really know if it also affects the db and screws the site up.. i dont think so, since it's just a theme.

    But just to make sure that i dont fuck up the active site, any wordpress experts ever did this?

              You don't overwrite themes. Just make a new folder in the wp-content/themes/ folder for your new theme, upload it there, then switch to it from inside Wordpress (under Presentation)

              If the new theme doesn't work properly, switch back to your old theme.

                      yea i just thought about that myself too, i just didnt think of it earlier dont know why..

                      now im still busy trying t figure out some detail design thing.. for instance in firefox the comment link stretches all the way down, until the right sidebar finishes, it appears next to the end of the right sidebar. very fucking strange and i cant figure out how the FUCK this is happening
