Template (.tpl) files
Site header wrapper method introduced

Tiki 5 to Tiki 6 Theme file changes
CSS
Blog revamp (template wrapper method introduced)
It's now easier to give a theme a different blog page layout. There is a blog wrapper template file that contains include statements each of which loads a part of the blog page, so these statements can be reordered (and/or minimal HTML, etc. put between them) to create a unique display.
- Sharethis icon added to blog post icons
Miscalleneous
- #fixedwith has moved to styles/layout/layout.css
- Element names removed in layout.css, design.css and theme stylesheets
Where possible (actually in almost all cases) selectors like div.sioptions were changed to .sioptions, because there were no eg. span.sioptions or ul.sioptions. This reduces problems in theme stylesheets where previously .sioptions would possibly not be able to override layout.css's div.sioptions due to the latter's greater specificity. In other words, in most cases, theme stylesheets don't need to use the element name any more, but just the id or class name.
