As our listeners, and anyone who visits our site, are probably aware, we need a logo. Since we added Bryan and Mike T, the old logo, which just featured a characture of Art and I just doesn't cut it. Art did a lot of work on our site to get this new theme running, and we've been using the default drupal logo.

The default logo looks much like a blue baby, and we've had several people ask if it's in fact Art and Bryan's blue love child. OK, no one has asked that yet, but I know it's coming.

Well, I finally had a successful migration in my test environment! Yay! Now, I’ll just wipe it all out, try it again, just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke.

Here’s where I run into the problem. After uninstalling everything, and then re-installing Sharepoint Team Services 2, I received the error below:
