 * Hi, I have a general question. If I have a non-responsive wordpress theme can
   I simply change out the theme to a responsive one for the site to be mobile friendly?
   Would I lose content? Would there be any issues that I need to anticipate? I 
   was told that tables and shortcodes in the pages would not convert correctly.
   Everything I have read seems to indicate that switching to responsive is not 
   that difficult.
 * Thanks!

 * Yes, you can switch themes without losing any content. If you have shortcodes,
   true, they may not work on a new theme. But it’s true that it’s pretty easy to
   switch – you generally do need to set up some new features and options, but it
   shouldn’t be all that complicated.
