 * WP2 added a Current theme preview graphic, but how do we change this?
 * I tried putting a screenshot.png in the root of the theme, but that did not seem
   to be enough

 * I have the feeling this is more along the line of “I know how to make one, I 
   made a new one, I put it where it needs to go, but I’m not seeing it”…..
 * Did you make sure you cleared cache and hard-refreshed your browser?

 * I don’t understand Michael’s solution, since if I just built my new theme, it
   would not be in the WordPress Theme Viewer site, would it?
 * In terms of vkaryl’s comment, I was even stupider (if that’s a word) than that.
   I created the snapshot.png file, and it was in the proper folder ON MY HD, but
   I forgot to upload it to the server (I am almost certain I remember doing that,
   but maybe I messed up and put it in the wrong folder on the server or something,
   but it certainly was not where it needed to be.
