Hi Greg
 
Thanks for this. However when I look at 
CATALINA_HOME\webapps\roller\themes\fauxcoly\theme.xml I do not find the
template for Front Page or Weblog (which are the ones I want to rename  to
say "Welcome" in the menu) 

I do find  the Archives template which appears in the menu

    <template action="custom">
        <name>Archives</name>
        <description>Calendar browser and links to latest
entries</description>
            <link>archives</link>
        <navbar>true</navbar>
        <hidden>false</hidden>
        <templateLanguage>velocity</templateLanguage>
        <contentType>text/html</contentType>
        <contentsFile>archives.vm</contentsFile>
    </template>

which has <navbar>true</navbar> which references the archives.vm as the
content and creates the page archives and provides the menu item Archives
(and I have been able to create and add my own templates and can change the
name from Archive to say Fred and get its displayed in the menu). 

I have looked at the weblog.vm, but there is no reference to the menu item
names Front Page or Weblog. How do I get control these menu item names so I
can change them?

Cheers

Peter
