Style will not apply. What's up?
I am very new to Textpattern. I have installed the system on my server, and have installed a new theme. I was very particular about following all of the directions on installing the theme. Once I finished, I checked my man page, and it is completely naked, with no style at all.
Is there a common problem that happens when installing themes? Some check box somewhere that I left unchecked?
Here’s my page: http://www.darkcollar.com/new/index.php
Here’s the theme I installed: http://textgarden.org/layouts/178/txp-rin
I’m really excited about using TXP, after bad experiences with both Wordpress and Movable. Hopefully someone here can get me started in the right direction.

Look at your page template. You probably lost a part while copying ;) The HTML looks like this:
Dark Collar
</head>
...the rest of the HTMLIt should look like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title><txp:page_title /></title>
<link rel="home" href="<txp:site_url />" />
<txp:feed_link flavor="atom" format="link" label="Atom" />
<txp:feed_link flavor="rss" format="link" label="RSS" />
<txp:css format="link" />
</head>

Awesome! That was the problem. I’ve used a kind of basic head to fill in the space. There are some things that need fixed. I wonder if the head text got lost somewhere in the transfer or the decompress.
Thanks a lot!

Brandon – it has been recorded in several posts here that this happens for Mac users. It has something to do with the default editor parsing the DTD_head file rather than displaying the full text on-screen. As I’m a PC user I don’t have personal experience of this but I gather it’s simply a case of using a different editor.
