Don't Destroy Your Customization Work!

I inadvertently destroyed my customization of the templates. I had added a few custom tags to all the templates in order to display an image, some links, etc. Then I fooled around with changing the theme. Bad decision.

When you change the theme, the default templates overwrite the ones that are there. I knew that, but I somehow forgot it and did it anyway. So I went back and put the custom tags back in and then immediately copied the restored blog to a backup directory.

Thank goodness I had entered the html into the custom tags and not directly into the templates. The tags were still there. I just needed to call them out again in the templates.

Some days I just do stupid things.
