But why dont you have 2 sides to it? 1. Left col theme and just extend the width of the content area. 2. And your 4 col theme that you where thinking about. Can you post an update if you've got any further? Cant wait untill the release. But why dont you have 2 sides to it?

1. Left col theme and just extend the width of the content area.

Theme development has been stuck on 3 years ago for a long time. Look at some of the great Joomla templates out there. They are far and away light years beyond current run of the mill "download my free wordpress theme I just developed because I hacked kubrick". As far as how easy is a theme for users to modify? With our theme <a href="http://buzzdroid.com/shifter/" rel="nofollow">Shifter</a>, users can flip a switch and have virtually any variable, functional layout for a site. It doesn't get easier than flipping a switch. That brings me to... do you want people hacking your themes or do you want people using your themes? There is a difference. If designers make themes that are usable, hacking (read mutilating) a theme is not necessary and that's better for all of us.

I agree with him, it is very tedious to scroll up and down to scan the page. "When news main page sections are laid out in vertical columns of varying heights placed side-by-side it requires that a reader practice one of 2 irritating methods of content consumption: 1) scroll downward to scan a column’s or section’s content and then go back up to do the same with another column or section, or 2) scan horizontally across adjacent columns of differing contexts, then scroll down and repeat the process, etc… " Great article by Andy Rutledge.
