I have just installed 4.0 and it appears to be working (mostly) but I just do
not understand the difference between these two properties in relation to
templates.

I have a community blog set to be the aggregated site-wide frontpage. This
blog uses the frontpage theme.

I have another blog that a user would use. As per a number of posts it took
sometime to figure out that the installed frontpage template was not
actually picking up the $site model. 

I added the following entry into the custom property file and bingo I know
see the blogs from the user blog. !NOTE the SiteModel class added

rendering.pageModels=\
org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.rendering.model.PageModel,\
org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.rendering.model.ConfigModel,\
org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.rendering.model.UtilitiesModel,\
org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.rendering.model.URLModel,\
org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.rendering.model.MessageModel,\
org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.rendering.model.CalendarModel,\
org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.rendering.model.MenuModel,\
org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.rendering.model.SiteModel

If any one could explain to me the differnce between pageModels and
siteModels I would be very grateful as it is not clear at all from the
documentation.

I also added this to custom property file to see if this would show any
difference. ie No classes defined for this property. Again I still see my
data, great but confused as to what this is used for?

rendering.siteModels=

NOTE! I am not using Planet at the moment as I I would like to understand
this first.

Apoligies to those of you who have read this and think so what, its working.
Well yes it is working but based on how my understanding from the
documentation and what I am actually seeing working does not appear to add
up.

Also the aggregated site-wide frontpage setting appears to make no
difference as I have tried it both on and off with no apparent difference to
the functioning of the sytem. Maybe I am just being thick?

Any light you could shed on this would be gratefully received. Thanks.
