In reply to Anne McCarthy.

Thanks for the followup, Anne, and making tickets. I'm starting to get better at opening them, but I need to work on doing more.

I'm checking out the template/content-related ticket. In my own experiments since this post, I've been thinking a lot about how independent these things should be. I've done some hybrid-type of templates where some of the structure made sense as part of the template and some as part of the content and vice versa. In short, it's going to be interesting to see what users do with it.

Coupling this with the idea that templates are tied to the theme, I wouldn't want anyone to "lose" anything they considered content on theme switch.

I nearly opened an issue for this but stopped upon realizing that this is likely intentional to preserve the WYSIWYG experience, particularly when editing a template vs writing content. I’m not sure what a good solution is here but I’ll note this in the summary post for now as a point of frustration. My mind goes straight to this might be necessary frustration in order to preserve the one to one view.

"A necessary frustration" -- I am kind of thinking the same thing. Putting my dev/design hat on, I'm not sure if there is a good solution. Putting my user hat on, I might just work from the bottom of the page up. :)
