 * i upgraded from 2.7 to 3.0 today. come to find out that the theme i am using 
   has not been updated for 3.0. i am hoping this is the reason there are no posts
   anymore. how can i get it back to what i was using? i backed up my files through
   amazon s3 before starting if that makes a difference. thanks!

 * with respect, doesn’t that page show how to upgrade to 3.0, not downgrade from
   3.0?
 * please tell me there is a simple solution to get things back the way they were
   before i upgraded.
