OK, finally got rid of a stray blue line when the theme was rendered in IE... it seems that some of the whitespace within the headers was treated as data... removed all the whitespace in these columns.

Solved the mystery of the undefined macro.  It appears that Radio will execute any file it finds in the Macros directory - even hidden backup files created by the editor.  While that is understandable, not reporting any errors it finds makes it kinda hard to debug.  In any case, xmlCoffeeMug successfully installed.

Starting playing around with themes.  I want something that is clean and simple and yet looks like it fits in well with the community.  I'm not quite satisfied with what I have done so far, so tweaks will be ongoing. First impressions:
  • Talk about an protocol which is difficult to edit by hand!  Makes WSDL look like childs play by comparison.  Every piece of the puzzle is easy to understand (pretty much standard html), but when you put it all together with nested tables, css, and generated content it is a bit overwhelming.  And add in just enough non-standard and proprietary tags to confuse the standand html tools like tidy and you get.
  • I wanted my navigator links to run down the left like they do on weblogs, but alas, these are generated in such a way that they look just like the standard links you get with the dhtml editing control, so both must have the same color, background, etc.  Fooey.  Put the links on the right for now.
  • A picture named burns.gifI followed the instructions in Going Crazy with macros #3 and got an coffee mug that doesn't match the decor. 

    So I copied the gif that Simon Fell is using into my images and saw it automatically upstream.  Cool.  I modified the macro to use this, and got an error on rendering that the macro was undefined.  Hmmm.  Tried several things, and couldn't get past this.  Changed the macro back to the original, and it STILL was undefined.  So, for now there is no XML coffee cup.
