Item templates
Item templates are (X)HTML pages that determine the look of a particular item on the page. They do not govern the look of the page itself:
page templates do that.
Each template has its own special tags. Put a tag in a particular part of your template to automatically insert the appropriate content at that point. Tags are case-sensitive and use curly braces (above the square brackets on a keyboard). The names of these files must not be changed (don't even change the extension to .html).
The default template included with Writer's Block looks like poo. Get creative!
