<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>sorry for the late answer - I was busy a little bit, hehe. :))</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For those who are still interested, I made a short howto here:</div>

<br><br>I created an XHMTL framework and put the queries into it, like:<br><br><div id="sticky_content"><br> query: put here the lead of the sticky nodes <br></div><br><div id="left_top_content">
<br>query: put here the lead of newest node from term X<br></div><br><div id="right_top_content"><br>query: put here the lead of newest node from term Y <br></div><br>.<br>.<br>.<br>..and so on. That's all.
<br><br>AND all the display attributes are controlled by CSS!<br><br>(I plan to launch a blog -hehehe- in the near future where I would put<br>stuffs like these, with detailed informations. <br>I'll get back to you when I'm ready.)
<br><br>Meanwhile your further questions are welcome.<br><br>Best regards,<br>Tibor<br><br>On Fri, 23 Jun 2006 11:00:07 +0300<br>"Phares Kariuki" <<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:pherowze@gmail.com" target="_blank">
