yeah but when i see those sites where they've got non-critical stuff going
down the right side and it's a little off my screeen (wdvl for example) i
start to get a little uneasy. i'm afraid i'll miss something.

actually I'm developing in Zope so i only have to make two versions of  the
standard_header and right_sidebar files and it changes the whole site.

thanks for that script aardvark.

this is my first tip. am i doing it right?

<tip>
Zope is an open-source content management system that kicks-ass. Recently a
new version of MetaPublisher, a Zope Product made by beehive.de was
released. MetaPublisher makes it easy to add interactive form-based
applications to your site. If you haven't gotten Zope yet, what are you
waiting for? Oh and did I mention Perl Methods? http://www.zope.org/
