So I had to reinstall the website wizard after upgrading bin files to 2.1.5 beta.. then delete duplicates. Then i changed something in the template (just changed ':' to 'Latest News'), and now the frontpage is broken. Seems its not applying the stylesheet... see here:
http://umbraco.psyhost.net/home.aspx

what i've done to try troubleshoot so far:
- copied frontpage template content, then deleted 'frontpage' template
- created new template called 'home' and pasted content from frontpage template
- allowed 'FrontPage' doc type to use my new 'Home' template
- applied 'Home' template to Home node
- published and unpublished numerous times

what else can i check? is there somewhere where you specify what stylesheet to load for specific pages/ doc types? Its really weird... i can't find anywhere to specify which stylesheet to use.

Okay, seems my entire site has now lost connection to CSS. and i didn't change anything.. perhaps just a caching issue.

On investigating further, I've found that the css files are missing from the css/wizard folder. Not sure how this happened - i know i didnt delete them. perhaps when i deleted the multiple styles they got deleted... guess i should try just upload those from the wizard package... will let u all know how i go. strange indeed

errr... nope, no .css files in the Wizard package. There are references to css files in the main template, ie:
[<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/wizard.css" type="text/css">]
[<LINK rel="stylesheet" type"text/css" href="/css/wizardPrint.css" media="print">]
[<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/umbracoAutoForm.css" type="text/css">]

But there are no css files in that folder. Anybody out there know whats going on here???

No response to this, so maybe i'll ask a simpler question:

does anybody know if the website wizard installs CSS stylesheet files? And if so, why can't i see them in the package file? And would it be possible for somebody to zip and send them to me??

Actually, i've just realised my site is missing the entire header & footer. seems its only showing the main body content.

what happened???

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. i get it. Somehow all the templates lost their master template... setting it back to 'main' fixed this problem.

weird how that happened.. but all sorted now.

and yes, i think i am losing the plot (having a whole conversation with myself here, from inception of problem through to solution 2 days later). LOL

kinda ironic how my message about broken templates, broke the template of the forum.

or maybe my plot (which i lost) was replaced with a sick sense of humour. hmmmm
