My HBWT
Ever wished this weblog looked different? Is it slow in your browser, or the wrong colour? Think you can come up with a better design?
If so, go for it! Send me working Conversant weblog templates*, and I'll install them so you can have your very own version of this site! (as long as it's reasonable and doesn't offend me)
The documentation for the new WeblogView page type has links to all the applicable documentation to help you make the templates.
I'll post the templates for this version and the aqua version later to help people get started.
*a page template, a day template, and an item template

Okay, I made a weblog template based on my website (with a few minor alterations) that I’m hoping will work as a WeblogView on your site. (I did work fine when I tested it with my own Conversant site.) It uses one image and a stylesheet that are currently stored at my Free-Conversant site, they are hard coded in but you can copy them if that works better.
(BTW, this HTML uses a bunch of CSS so it might not be cross platform, but I think it should work pretty well with IE 4 and 5 as well as both Netscape 4 and 6 on Windows at least.)
Oh, and it doesn’t include any message label macros because I didn’t see them on your weblog page.
Umm, I think that’s all I wanted to mention. Thanks for offering this.

Hi Brad,
Thanks for sending me the template, it looks beautiful!

Before I link to it on the home page, could you please let me know if this is how you intended it to look? I noticed you used the #bodytag macro, so I’m not sure if you had used a different background colour, or something like that.
Note the page title, however. You might want to replace:
Have Browser, Will Travel – <!–#pagetitle–>
with
<!–#pagetitle–>
and have me make the title of the page
“Have Browser, Will Travel” in the structure editor.
Also, if you’d like the #navbar macro to return something different, you can make your own and stick it directly into the template.
Jim

Your welcome, and thank you.
Yes, only the box with the postings in it was supposed to be the lighter colour, everything else had a beige background. I have made a new template with the body tag hard coded in and some other corrections as well.
I made a reference weblog to show the intended look: http://free-conversant.com/edf/hbwt
Okay, I redid that in the new template, because I copied it from my site (which has a site title and a different page title for the weblog) I had two titles in there. Your site only has one title, so now my template does too.
Okay, I wasn’t sure what to put there the first time I have changed that in the new template.

Great work Brad! I’ve updated the template and posted a link to the new page…
