[phpWebLog-devel] Yea and Jason

[Booth R. <ra...@ea...>]

Some thoughts on layout not related to how you pull the layout from 
something...

Is there any possible way we can have the version have the prog do a 
left block---->and then a stories block--->and then a right block, 
without us hacking into common.inc.php3 to do a three columned table 
. I like the way Linux.com and Benews.com have a 100 percent table 
with three columns and they have their stories and comments dead 
center.
