Yes, I realise that, the Blue and Blue menu just happens to use it I
suspect.  It might as well be 'cabbage'.

Er, you wrote it!  :-)

I think what I'm asking is how (if it's possible) one can have pages
in a blog which aren't posts.  My blog is at the following URL:-

    http://home.isbd.net/cgi-bin/pyboat.cgi/

These 'static' pages in the Blue and Blue menu would be at:-

    http://home.isbd.net/cgi-bin/pyboat.cgi/static/<name>

I'm just asking how to get pyblosxom to show these pages.

I'll do what I can to help there.  I certainly find the existing setup
rather confusing for various reasons.
