Alright, so my first template REALLY sucked. This one is better, because it is totally built from scratch, and uses very few images. The .left, .right, and .clear classes may be used to float content into position here. There is one main column, with space for ads or whatever on the left and right.
I am about to unleash a slew of simple, compact designs, each built around a few simple concepts. This may be my second design, but it is only the first good one. columns are easily removable, and the tabs at the top will scale to any length. This has been locked away for 8 months, nearly finished, and now it is here.
