After considering the massive number of current themes available for WordPress I’ve recently decided to go with the K2 theme. One of the main reasons I chose it is because it is a very flexible theme that allows you to make quite a few changes without having to edit the actual code. It also supports the automattic widget plugin. The latest version which I am running actually has its own included widget functionality which in my mind is better than the automattic version.
Once I decided to go with K2 the hunt for information on it began and it took me a little while to track much of it down so I thought I’d put that information here to help others.

- Click the Update File button
- You’re done!

Wouldn't it be better to do that in a seperate CSS file through the styling? That way, if you ever wanted to switch back you could just disable your custom style. Also, you can edit a style and know that it won't interfere with K2.
