Seems like something isn't being specified in the display. Funny, I don't see any dark blue background in the image at all. I do see light grey text on white background for the dates which is hard to read as are the light green links to the bottom right of each post. I don't mind pastellized (sp?) colours and the rounded corners, but a little darker text on those items would help immensely. Overall very simple clean layout which I like. Of course it needs a rotating (and maybe flashing) gif or two doesn't it? :)

Re: How do I implement boilerplate text?
Thanks to all, the abbreviation method seems to work now. I had used 'abbreviate' in my _vimrc file and it wasn't working. I changed it to 'ab' and it works fine. I'm not sure if I read the message wrong or if both should work. Anyway thanks again for all the help.

I've tried using CR characters in the string and quoting it as well.. both to no avail. Any hints? Actually, using the CR characters should work fine. Perhaps you have some setting interfering. You should be Check the 'cpoptions' option setting. To use symbolic representation of key codes in maps and abbreviations, make sure the '' flag is not present in 'cpoptions'. To use raw key-codes in a map or abbreviation, make sure the 'k' flag is not present in 'cpoptions'. - Yegappan able to place the following in a script file (or your vimrc): ab lhs This is line 1.CR \This is line 2.CR \This is line 3. For a simple test, start gvim without any mods: gvim -u NONE -i NONE -N And define an abbreviate call abb: :ab abb ThisCRisCRaCRtest. Now type: iabbenter where enter is the enter key. -- Best regards, Bill
How do I implement boilerplate text?
I'm new to Vim. One of the things that is helping me learn it is using it for my main text editor every day (I'm not a programmer by trade although I do a little for fun). So I am using it for writing emails, letters, blog posts, etc. more than for coding per se. Anyway, one thing I'd like to be able to do is insert some boilerplate text into a document - something like a standard signature. Is there some way I can preload a buffer with this text when I run Vim? Can this be done in the rc file? I'm sure there is a way (with Vim there always seems to be) but I can't seem to find out how.
