Hi Richard, Thanks for your message. Its must appreciated! Of course, as with most designs, its best to start with mockups (wireframes -> static HTML). I am already doing that -- I just want to another stage in the process, which is to test with velocity markup added and rendered. I'd still prefer to be able to do this with the themes in file format, so I can take advantage of version control (since that's where my themes will end), but your suggestion sounds like a good workaround. OFF-TOPIC, but I was wondering how you've achieved hyphens rather than underscores in your permalinks on pixyblog? I have a preference for the former. If its not under NDA, I'd love to know how! Cheers, Alex
