[wp-hackers] [WP1.5 Idea] Admin Setting for Alternate Path to Themes

[Doug Daulton]

Wow.  That was quick!  Can I have a pony too?  I've always wanted one.  ;)

Seriously, thanks Ryan.  I suppose I need to pull down the latest 
nightly build?   Also, I am unfamiliar with the WP API, but have plenty 
of coding savvy.  So, can you point me at a URL that gets me started 
with this hook structure you are talking about and I'll take it from there.

Thanks,

Doug
