The K2 and wordpress code has changed since I wrote it, (and keeps changing regularly!) and I no longer have the time / interest to keep updating it. I'm going to leave the site up for now, so you're welcome to look ... http://geek.marinegirl.co.uk/2007/10/29/no-longer-supported/ I've just rebuilt the Nautilus photoblog theme to work with Wordpress 2.2.
