 * Not sure if this helps, but here’s part of the code from my stylesheet:
 *     ```
       body {
        width: 1000px;
        font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Georgia, Geneva, Arial;
        font-size: 12px;
        color: #000000;
        background-color: #ffffff;
        margin-right: auto;
        margin-left: auto;
        padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
        background: #76898F;
        }
       ```

 * Thanks for the tip. I started using “default” as the name of my custom theme 
   because I was having a little problem where my WordPress would revert back to
   the default theme for reasons that are still unclear. Having my custom theme 
   named “default” seemed to solve this, because it would just revert back to my
   custom theme. Now I’ve either got to test 2.8 for a week or so to find out if
   I’ve still got the problem with reverting back to default, or I’ve got to find
   a different work-around.

 * I would think any decent host would also notify me when there has been a hardware
   failure, even if it means data was lost. At least then I would know what’s going
   on. Still no response from them on my support ticket. If it doesn’t get answered
   soon, they aren’t going to like the blog posts I write about them from my next
   host.

 * Well, I actually deleted the “default” folder first, then uploaded my custom 
   theme folder and renamed it default, so it was the only default folder in my 
   themes. I guess your “restored from backups” scenario would make sense then, 
   since that’s the only way I can think of that would make a deleted folder reappear.
   Everything was working for about one full week with the correct theme displaying
   and everything, and then this morning I checked and everything was gone. I’ve
   got a support ticket open with my host, so hopefully they’ll be able to explain
   what’s going on.

 * Thanks for that tip. What’s odd is it’s only my newest WP installations that 
   are having this problem (with new version 2.5). It’s also the first time I’ve
   used the plugins that I listed. Nobody on the support forum for my hosting provider
   is mentioning a problem like this. Is there a way the plugins could be doing 
   something to mess up the database? It might be worth noting that the plugins 
   are deactivated whenever the posts are deleted and the theme is changed.
