But on the other hand, someone may come to the OMR looking for a set by
name, or might want all of a theme or subtheme. Since the OMR will not be
run off a database that serves up live content, it won't be easy to offer
both. So would it be better to allow the search to give results for
subthemes say if 'mtron' was searched for? Could that lead to urls that go
through the search but provide categories?
Number would be nice, and organized. Could we have a vote though or
others' input on how it should be laid out on the site?

make some wild and crazy pics for my future personal site - and am turning
