Install new theme after using this tutorial from Smashing Magazine

[kshitizkhanal7]

I setup a blog following your tutorial from the Smashing Magazine. I want to change my theme. I am thinking hyde. What is the easiest way to do this?

Basically just stick with the theme this comes with, going through the issues in this repository reveals that changing themes is usually not possible in most cases if you're using this boilerplate setup (or at least no one has done it successfully and documented the process).

Some people have had luck by deleting the the _layouts/default.html file, you could try that, but it just breaks things for me.
