Hey Leigh This was just the kind of little problem I could get my teeth into as soon as someone mentioned Macs. I've just done a trial and while not perfect, it kind of worked -> http://wikieducator.org/User:AlisonRuth/eXe_Trial_upload A version (slightly different, i think) to what I uploaded is here http://www.vicariousconversations.com/Griffith/1004MGT/
It isn't quite right yet and the links to the icons are wrong, but it seems such a minor point given that it kinda worked. The rest is just cosmetic. I had to delete the navigation, and some of the divs, and I missed one, but it basically did everything expected. I've briefly documented the process here. http://wikieducator.org/User:AlisonRuth/HTML_to_Wiki_process Now, I suppose I have to get back to the 'real' work.
