It most definitely is-- the latest from the Redmond Invasion Tour.

My design proposal for the pages is to use php to create a shell file.  The file
will "include" the header (logo, background image, etc.) from a standard file.
The Menu will be generated dynamically from a php script (using catalog
information included in each individual web page) and placed into the menu table,
which can be on the right or left.  The main text will again be grabbed from a
file, so if i grab index.shtml, which is generated from index.template using (what
news proggy are you using?),  the most recently generated index.shtml will always
appear in the main panel.

Im making use of cascading style sheets to format the web pages, so once we have a
nice looking template page, applying the style to the existing pages should be a
snap.
