Even though your explanation above is correct and clearly set out, I think that for a total beginner to TB! and especially to template construction, it can be enough to send them on their merry way back to OE! I am not criticising you Nick, but maybe there really *is* a need for a "total newbie's" help file of some sort. When I first set TB! up, these kinds of explanations simply blew me away and I had no idea what anyone was talking about. If it were not for Melissa's ongoing patience and her frequent emails containing "re-written for newbies" instructions, I would never have made it off the ground. For someone who has perhaps come straight from OE ( or worse still, something like Incredimail) - template instructions may very well look like a foreign language!
