Will all themes made for 1.5 work with 2.0? Is there anything special that needs to be done for the pictures to appear in the wp-admin/presentation section? Sorry, I wish something explaining this stuff would be added to the codex.

To make a "thumbnail" graphic: take a screenshot of your in-place blog. Open the screenshot in your graphics editor. Resize to appx 300 x 225 px, and save as "theme-name.png". Load into the /wp-content/themes/"theme-name" folder.
Most themes will work just fine in 2.0. Some that have a bunch of unusual backend stuff will probably not work.

Alright. I'll have to test my theme on it soon. Thanks.

Umm, hey. I have another quick questions here - how do you strikeout text? :D

You mean if editing a previous post? Use
<strike></strike>around it perhaps? Truthfully, I've never used it, so I couldn't actually state categorically.... -

Pickiness alert:
<strike>should not be used.
Use CSS (hint: text-decoration) instead. -

Also, I've found inserting an image called "screenshot.jpg" into the theme folder will cause a thumbnail to show up in the admin panel. It can be a png too, not sure about gif.

I've discovered that if you download the theme's large image from the WordPress Theme Viewer, you can resize it perfectly to 300 x 225!
I've documented the steps I used here.
