I've finally converted my original notebook drawings into a graphical workflow for review. You can download the full version here (30K): http://photos4.flickr.com/6944826_90af237c99_o.png and then add comments to its Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/6944826/in/pool-drupal/ Note that the functionality I'm looking to create would allow you to layout out individual pages, which could double as section homepages or a site's homepage. Additionally, just about everything we need to put this together exists today; I've just organized it in such a way that I think is fairly simple to generate good results with minimal effort. Hopefully the various layout module efforts going on right now could benefit from my suggested 3 step approach. Chris
