It seems like this would be best handled at the view level, you could
pass a url variable in the render_to_response portion, maybe something
like
def theme(request):
# a bunch of view display stuff
theme = ThemeModel.objects.get('template__name')
if theme:
render_to_response('%s' u'path', {'dictionary': dictionary}
else:
render the default theme
The path is the directory extension of theme. Probably just make a
foreign key relationship in the blogs settings Model and link it to a
template Model with name, thumbnail, etc. etc. etc..
