Rick,
I am not sure if your question is response to tom's original email or my
comment.
If it is response to my comment , here is why I said to remove the 1.0
template from consideration.
A 1.0 template is compatible with Joomla 1.0
A 1.5 template is compatible with Joomla 1.5
The current version of Joomla is 1.5 while version 1.0 of Joomla has
reached end of life.
The template format for Joomla 1.5 is very different then the format for
1.0.
To use a 1.0 tempate with Joomla 1.5 you must either convert the
template to 1.5 which is like writing a template from scratch or trying
to use the legacy feature in Joomla 1.5 which also has issues.
So it is best to use a 1.5 template with a Joomla 1.5 site.
Thanks,

I take it you looked through the hundreds of free 1.5 templates and
these are that much better or more stable somehow?

I would remove Element from consideration, it is a 1.0 template
not a 1.5 template.
Running a 1.0 template on a 1.5 site is possible but in no way easy.
My suggestion would be only consider 1.5 templates

There are a gazillion templates available for Joomla web
sites, and some of them are way cool. The dev group decided to
narrow its focus to three professionally designed templates
from Joomla Shack which we think are suitable for our web site
and which use FOSS technologies. The three templates are
EarthBlog, Relevant and Element.
https://www.joomlashack.com/pro-joomla-templates/286-js-earthblog-template
https://www.joomlashack.com/pro-joomla-templates/272-js-relevant-template
https://www.joomlashack.com/pro-joomla-templates/32-js-element-template
If you are interested in voting, please visit the Joomla Shack
site and look at the live demo for each template and the
specs. Then rank your preference from 1 to 3; one being your
favorite. A preferential vote is called an Instant Runoff Vote
(IRV). The template with the most votes wins. If there is a
tie, possible although unusual in IRV, I will pick the winner
from the tied templates.
Joomla Shack template licenses cost $40 per web site.
The Element template is not Joomla 1.5 native so Chuq sent an
email to Joomla Shack asking whether Element works with 1.5,
what it lacks in 1.5 and whether a native 1.5 template is in
the works.
