Question 1 - Solved! :)
Question 2 - Solved! :) Where would I put the following code to have it appear in the title bar of the browser? I had it in the code with the shrink and center and double components, but I'm not using that now and I'm stumped where to put it.
"""
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="$p.stylesheet_url" type="text/css"/>
$p.head_content
<title>Girlie Blog -- Chock full of girlie things!</title>
""";
$p->print_head();
"""
</head>
""";
Thanks everyone for their help! :)
