Fatal mistake - I'm a dummy.
So, I've been working on one of my blogs in order to turn from a "me" blog to a "community" blog which will have lots of authors.
I wrote a bit about it a few days back. I've just realised that I've been working on an older version of Wordpress! The changes I made to the core files, I now have to make again - thankfully it's only a few lines of code here and there, but I feel like a dummy.
Of course, this also brings up the dilemma of upgrading wordpress when a new version is released. I'll have to remake all my changes each time. The other option is to make the changes by hand using diff files. I'll probably go down that route.
So, work starts afresh on the community blog - as yet, it's not live so there's no real hurry. I already decided on a theme to use, and have decided on the plugins that I need to use.
It should be good fun to run something where other people are creating ALL the content. And real content at that. I have plans for monetisation, but that can happen in the future, it's certainly unimportant for now.

Use the Wordpress SVN version. Subversion (SVN) automatically tracks changes to source code, so if any of the changes you make to your local "working copy" conflict with the latest version on WP.org, the conflicts will be automatically flagged for you merge together, or whatever.
As a plus, it means updating your WP version is as simple as right-click > "Update", on the WP folder.

Chris; thanks for that suggestion. Never thought to use SVN! I'm on it!
Ash; I don't know. The little icons are called "blogbling". The large digg icon is "diggthis", which is I think found on the digg site somewhere. Try this code;
<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript">
somewhere in your template…
