By [NR] admin | Published: July 31, 2010

I finally updated my WordPress theme to the latest version (I haven’t done any updates in almost 2 years). LeicaRumors and PhotoRumors have already been running the new design for two weeks and I did not have any issues so far.

By [NR] admin | Published: July 30, 2010
