Quick note - preferred spelling is Seaside, not SeaSide (I guess  
SeaSide is the version written in SmallTalk).

There have been at least two projects to add templating to Seaside2 -  
see the following messages from the archive for more information:

However, I personally am no longer an advocate of templates - I think  
that the prevalence of template languages is doing the state of web  
development much more harm than good.  For a little more on this view,  
see my blog entry from March 26, and the ensuing discussion:
