Orange Crush Update

Monday, July 16th, 2007

So now Orange Crush will work in any version (uhh...version 2, that is) of WordPress you are running. Just download the proper version of the theme to match your WordPress installation. Oh yeah, and I added a new color - now you have Orange, Black, Blue, Green, Red and Purple to choose from. Enjoy!
