hey, i just did as robert told us on the antville-dev mailing-list and voilà! finally, i have the good old front page layout blogger-stylee again.

update: just one minor step is missing. i had to create an empty header.skin in the day prototype to prevent old-style sites from throwing a skin not found error.

update ii: ...and don't forget to include an additional <% day.skin name="header" %> macro in the "front page of a single day" skin (hardly to notice without a calendar).
