<html><head><meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"><meta content="Group-Office 2.18" name="GENERATOR"></head><body><p>Thanks, Quim! And, I'm happy to say that the new design I started working on last night will fit into this very nicely.</p>
<p>One question: Does the Search functionality need to be tied to a pull-down menu or was that just an idea?</p>
<p>One comment: It's good that the entire page fits 800px wide. I would also propose that the main content (everything to the left of the right sidebar) fit into a 700px wide space -- which fits into the browser when it's not in full-screen mode.</p>
<p>Last thought: Your idea does not reflect a "fluid" layout in the true sense, so we should make sure people keep that in mind as they design.</p>
<p>I should be able to finish my new design idea within the next couple of days. (It may not look _exactly_ like what Quim has posted, but it will contain everything that is present on his design -- in roughly the same places).</p>

<p>P.S. Thanks for mocking on a grid! :)</p>

<br />
- All good ideas taken.<br />
- Nobody should get overloaded, not even the 770 browser.<br />
- Perfectly doable with simple & standard code.<br />
- Content refreshed by the community, no need for manual updates.<br />
- Flexible: you can improve a module without affecting the whole.<br />
- All what designers need to work on a beautiful layout.<br />
- All what writers need to work on final copy.<br />
