[Seaside] Template support in Seaside 2.5

[Adnan Zaman]

Thanks Avi. 

Actually I am trying to write the web site Guru.com in
Seaside (just for learning purposes). I want to
present an exactly same UI but doing Page -> View
Source of the home page obviously results in a
tremendous amount of html.

Since I am new to both Seaside and html, I am sure
that there must be better ways to do what I am trying
to do.

Based on my limited understanding of Seaside, I did
write lot of seaside code along with CSS (actually I
just used that website's .css file to save time) to
generate this html programmatically but it took me
more than 2 days to write up most of that html of the
home page and so I wonder if I am doing it the right
way?.
