 * Profuse apologies if this is a rather dumb question.
 * Is there a graceful way of redirecting visitors or simply putting a placeholder
   on my WordPress (2.5) site, whilst I install / test / tweak / configure a new
   theme ?
 * (I’ve tested the theme on a subdomain with imported posts and pages but its going
   to take several hours of testing to check everything is kosher once its ported
   to the live site.)
