Paul Stamatiou has released Part 4 of his excellent K2 customization series. Along with his high quality stuff, he walked through the basics of How-To acheive the 3 Column layout. If you havent seen his HOW-To’s, I request all K2 users to have a look at those other three parts of his customization series also.
