The reason for this is because I finally managed to get my FTP working again (which lets me move files on the server with ease) I decided to update WordPress. After I updated WordPress, I realized that it had updated the default theme, which I had edited as the theme of thedaktory.org.nz.

I decided the best idea was to use a new theme for the time being, as my backups were wiped when I managed to format my hard drive on my computer my accident.

So I hope you all like it, it will only be up for a few months until we have the proper Daktory theme finished.

I feel like such a noob now LOL
