I didn't mean to come off as harsh, if that was the case. 

>> I think your paradigm is the Swiki with its wiki interface. This situation is not like that. You're micro managing the Download section of the homepage for something like the third time. This isn't a wiki. It's Altitude. To make the minutiae changes you want I have to futz. A lot. I have to futz with CSS to make sure things are running inline.

Well, yea and no. This isn't Seaside. The only deployment of Altitude on Earth is this one. Even Colin would say it's all a tad raw.

Yea, I guess that's not obvious. I use a shell script called squeakdesktop.sh: 

#!/bin/sh

/Users/chriscunnington/Desktop/Cog.app/Contents/MacOS/Squeak /Users/chriscunnington/Desktop/squeak.org/Squeak4.4-12327.image /Users/chriscunnington/Desktop/squeak.org/squeaksite.st &

See, the thing is, I find loading in a file called squeaksite.st starts the image more reliably than leaving it on before I save&quit with the hope it'll come up the way it was before.

OK, look at: 

SQSqueakApplication>>initializeLocator
SQHomePage>>renderContentOn: (then scroll down to 'Download') 
SQDownloadsPage>>renderContentOn: ( this is a simple page; contrast that wit SQHomePage and adding content should become pretty clear) 
SQAbstractSuperclass>>renderHeaderBarOn:
SQAbstractSuperclass>>renderStylesOn: 

Those are the broad strokes.
