    CSS
      Select the menu item Community>Your OPML Weblog>Open template>
      Add an outline element under the line that reads:
      <title><%title%></title>
      that looks like:
      <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://hosting.opml.org/your-subdomain-name/blog/decorations/opml-blog.css" />

      Substitute your subdomain name where indicated above. For instance, my subdomain is javajini
      .

      Create a file containing CSS style rules named opml-blog.css and place it in the directory www/blog/decorations/ in your OPML directory. It will be reflected to the server as will any files you place in your www directory.
    Get OPML Password
      How to get your password emailed to you
      A little-known feature is that you can ask the support website (this site) to email your OPML Editor login password to you -- because it's the same password in both places.
      Here's how...
      1. Go to this page: http://support.opml.org/member/login
      2. Enter your email address, but leave the password empty.
      3. Check your email.
      Why this is useful...
      You may have to re-install the OPML Editor, or may want to use the same account from a second machine, and may have forgotten the password you chose. (In other words, the usual reason for having your password emailed to you.)
