Regarding media files (css, images, ...), PyBlosxom doesn't serve
these.  They're served by your web-server.  You can put these files
into a media directory that's served by your web-server and then use
the url for that media directory in your templates.

One way to do this is to add a property to your config.py file like this:

   py["media_url"] = "http://www.bluesock.org/~willg/media"

then you can use that variable in your templates.  For example, your
head template could have:

   <link rel="stylesheet" href="$media_url/style.css" type="text/css">

I think that answers your question, but it's possible I misunderstood the issue.

A template is a single file that contains the markup for a part of a
page.  A flavour is a group of templates that make up a complete page.
 So for example the html flavour has several templates that belong to
it: "head.html", "story.html", "foot.html", ...

There's some better write-up and examples here:

Hope that helps!
