Correction: I meant to say “Yes, I was using relative paths ….” Apologies.

Hi Gerrit, I’m subscribed to the list, but it appears that I have been receiving only some messages posted to the list, not all – probably caused by an overzealous security mechanism on the email server here at my employer. I’ll look into it. Thanks very much for your suggestion. I see what you mean about relative vs. absolute paths. Yes, I was using absolute paths such as href="static/css/theocom.css" but now I see that using the absolute path such as href="/theocom/static/css/theocom.css" works well and allows me to use the same code for HTML <head> across multiple pages.
