 * Hey. This is probably the wrong spot for this question but is the Theme Viewer
   not working? ([http://themes.wordpress.net](http://themes.wordpress.net))

 * For _ages_, the theme viewer has been off the face of the earth. Apparently, 
   the powers that be will be launching a brand new version one day in the future,
   but that’s been promised for a while. It looks like other things are being thought
   of as more important.
 * From [ a post on the Theme Viewer blog](http://themes.wordpress.net/blog/4426/upcoming-changes/):
