## Description

This plugin allows a blog administrator to test a new theme while showing the old
theme to regular visitors.

## Installation

Copy into your plugins folder and activate. You must enable testing on the Theme
Tester admin page (Design -> Theme Tester) after which any theme changes by you 
will not be visible to regular visitors to your blog.

To make any theme changes visible to your visitors you must disable testing and 
choose your new theme.

Warning! If the theme you are testing writes to blog options that your current theme
uses (such as header image or colours), your blog’s visitors will see those changes.
I don’t expect this to happen too often except if you are testing several themes
based on the same theme engine such as K2.
