3-Column CSS Layouts
Man, it’s not easy to do 3-column css layouts. There are a bunch of guides and stuff around, I decided to go for the hack method. Basically, I just created a second el-sidebar-grande div, through the old sidebar and the flick bar as floats into that. Anyway, that’s my solution for now.

Hackjob
Did a little hackjob on the site, although it’ll change again soon enough. It seems like all I do is post saying I’m working on the site design. That and quicklinks. Quicklinks are my crutch right now, I should break them off onto the sidebar again. Or not. Blah.
On a separate note, I must express my utter disdain for web-based educational software packages. Namely Knowledge Forum and WebCT. For now, I leave you with this WebCT screenshot. Learning without Limits provided you’re using the right software.

Redesign soon
This is a hacked-up version of the Kubrick theme that meshed with my old layout. I need to change things up a bit and implement some of the neato things in WordPress. I was getting a lot of comment-spam, so I installed a plugin called Trencaspammers that generates a code that you have to enter (prevents a lot of the robots).
Now I just have to get rid of the spam in my referer logs, riz has provided me with his hacked together script, i just haven’t tried running it yet.
