Similar here.
The Doogie template has the advantage of a fixed max-width which Lex
wants. Basically, we could add the missing "meta links" to the Doogie
template by hacking them into it. But this reduces maintenability of
course.

However, I don't want to make the decision about which template to use,
I'd just like to configure the one you chose :).
For me, the content is more important and I just don't know not enough
about web design and all the criteria about usability and accessibility
and all these things.

Enrico
