I've worked on the default templates (which get used if you don't specify
any templates--they're hard-coded in the blosxom renderer).  I never
looked at the packaged contributed flavours.  So I have no clue what they
look like.  I think they come directly from blosxom, though.

Um.  No, I don't think it makes sense to use that.  I do some funky stuff
behind-the-scenes with plugins and such.  And I don't think it makes sense
to attempt to walk other people through it.  I think it'd be no different
than having other people use the existing contributed flavours.  (shrug)

I'd really rather some folks who like web-design build a series of
templates that they "give" to the pyblosxom community for people to use.
I think that's the better course here.
