Well, I finally broke down today and upgraded from Drupal 5.x to 6.x. It was rather quick and painless. At the same time, I found a new template for this site. It seems rather clean. I'll spend some time customizing the theme here shortly.

I was too quick to report that everything went quick and painless. I'm having issues with taxonomy. I'll post the error and a solution soon.
