Re: "The use of a theme will improve the overall appearance of the website"
"Improving the appearance" is a highly subjective thing. I had no problem with the former appearance. And if changing the theme renders past newsletters with incorrect formatting, then that's a detriment to improved appearance.
Re: "I agree that the yeIlow is not an
ideal part of this color scheme."
Find me a work-around. When I specify [hr size="2" color="blue"] I ought to get a blue line, not a yellow one. I don't like the idea of a theme overridiing normal html codes.
Re: "I think any theme other than
the original "Minimal" theme will use more margin space.. Is it
possible to adjust the Newsletter HTML to fit this format?"
Html is independent of any fixed width, and adjusts itself to fill whatever space is available. That's a beauty in most circumstances. The problem is when you format for one width, and then try and fit it into a width that's shorter. That causes things on the right end to wrap-around to the next line, and that may look bad depending upon where it happens. Where that occurs, you could adjust the document, but that would require editting possibly hundreds of old newsletter stories, at great expenditure of time. I don't have the inclination to retroactively re-edit everything ever written. And I don't like having my name as editor associated with documents that contain poor editing, through no fault of my own.
I've said my piece.
