I'm hoping to put together a talk on Drupal 6 theming for the February meetup. See you there!

Usually when I create a Drupal site I set the admin theme to Garland: it saves time if I don't have to theme screens only a few people will use. But not all the admin pages will use Garland, so one time I started using Taxonomy Theme to encourage them to appear the way I wanted.
