Right, that's the clincher for me (and looking back, that's the question
Nagrom had anyway).
Here's how we're going to do it:
1) default layout for all pages is 2 col, as at present (wide but fluid
main column and narrow, fixed right hand nav etc column)
2) We'll build additional CSS support for 3 col should we decide in
testing that 2 col sucks - we can switch it within the CMS as necessary.
If anyone violently disagrees in principle, shout now (where 'now' allows
for timezones of course :-) ). Otherwise, wait until testing this weekend
and see if it looks awful.
Cheers
Martin
