I just upgraded to WordPress 2.8 and also updated my theme. My old theme was just the WordPress default and I got a few complaints about that. 
It admittedly wasn’t that aesthetically pleasing. The upgrade went smoothly using the automatic upgrade plug-in suggested by my coworker. It worked like a charm!!!
I am using the theme Atahualpa. It’s really nice because it offers a wide-array of customization options, and you don’t have to code to implement (good for me).
WordPress 2.8 is AWESOME. Very easy installations of plug-ins and themes. This is sweet.
Comments welcome on my layout.
