U said u wanted three blocks next to each other in 1 region. Why not define 3 regions next to each other and put 1 block in each was, I think, the thought that Gerald had. Tony
PS another alternative would be to use a grid system to position these blocks in the region. But that is not worth it at this point in ur development.
tony mac is building web sites.

I did not say that the solution described in the link I supplied is not usable but merely wondered whether there were other solutions. As for broken HTML, that is most certainly a possibility but I have not found it. As for 2 regions side-by-side, that is not what I had in mind, nor what I described.

Not knowing what your code is, I would have to say you need to look for broken html if sections are bleeding into each other, as far as the other alternatives, you can create 2 regions side by side that you populate also. But I am curious why is the suggested solutions not usable?

Using Drupal 7 I am customizing the front page on a web site I am developing for my own (commercial) use. I used the Zen theme as a base, created a subtheme etc. which went well. After creating a tpl.php file just for the front page, I have now added a custom region (between the main content and the footer) and added three blocks to this custom region using the Block Administration page of the theme. Using weights I can arrange the order of the three blocks I have, provided I want them one below the other.
However, I want them side-by-side and I want each block to have some custom formatting. After Googling the drupal site I found this link http://drupal.org/node/1151704 which seems to address my problem.
Since I am new to Drupal I thought I would see if there are any other solutions beside the one in the link? I should also add that before adding the custom region I had added custom PHP code (and corresponding statements in a CSS file) to place the three blocks approximately where I wanted them on the page. However, while they were separated from the main content region, no matter what I did the Footer got intermixed with my block content, hence the Googling described above.
Suggestions greatly appreciated! Thanks.
