Upgrade to Community Server 2007

I was finally able to complete an upgrade of our blog software to Community Server 2007.  In past versions, I had to write custom code to support what we call "global categories".  These were categories that any blog on the site could use.  With the new tag-based system, this is no longer necessary.

The major work was in learning the new theming system and creating a Clarity custom theme.  The new theme engine is fairly easy to use once you get the hang of it, but there is still a bit of a learning curve.  Still I do think it is easier than before.

I've been using Community Server 2007 on my personal blog for a few months now and I'm glad we can start using it for Clarity Blogs.  There are a lot of little fixes and enhancements that make it a really nice update.
