 The Pavement theme is a cut down and slightly altered version of the free GetSimple theme [[http://get-simple.info/extend/theme/trendybiz/574/|TrendyBiz]]. There are several hundred [[themes:installation|free themes]] available for GetSimple but anybody who knows basic html and css can [[themes:tutorial|create their own design]].

 Then we can write in the Specials list with normal html formatting. The style is governed by the css file which is attached to the Theme.
