Are you wanting the theme to be Ghost 1.x compliant? If so, you can download your existing theme zip from the blog and run it through [gscan.ghost.org](http://gscan.ghost.org). This would let you know what needs to be updated to bring it up-to-date.

If you used [git](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) to fork [Casper](https://github.com/TryGhost/Casper) before applying your changes then you could merge upstream changes in and rectify any merge conflicts.

Otherwise it will be a case of downloading the latest version of Casper and re-applying your customisations manually.
