Hmm... I believe that's on purpose because it's too tight to the header 
at the top, otherwise.

Do you mean like the bg color of the boxes?

Karl likes the old colors. Do you like ALL the old colors?

All that text is from an automatic feed.

This is a wiki. You should see: View | Changes | Search.  If one logs 
in, they have more options at that location (like, edit, history).

It's a feature of Smallwiki. It shows the user the complete path of 
where they are.

I guess that could be in another page - a description of how to use the 
wiki. Want to write it?

Good point. I've seen it all ways. Since the squeakland.org and the olpc 
wiki site has Etoys, I'll change it to that.

Thanks, I changed it.
