 * Install seemed to go well (new admin panel looks great). I have a home-grown 
   theme that relies on some of the default templates. When I first viewed the blog,
   it looked fine. The I went into themes and noticed that my theme wasn’t selected,
   so I selected it, and now it is using my style sheet and the default theme index.
   php. When I go to the theme editor, select my theme, and open index.php, it shows
   me the default index.php. I have checked my upload, everything looks correct,
   my index.php is loaded in the theme. Much thanks in advance for any and all help!

 * I’m not sure if all of these steps are important, but here is what I did to fix
   it:
    * Reset the theme to default * Deleted my theme alltogether * Removed template:
   default from the header of my theme style sheet * Re-loaded the theme * Reset
   to my theme Best to all
