Hi George

I never knew you went with Plone. That's good, how are you finding it ?
You're right - there is an awful lot you can do with Plone out of the
box now. The Plone 3 series is much better in this respect than version
2.1 that I started with. Back then, you would have to use the ZMI, (Zope
Management Interface) which is very obtuse and do quite a bit in there,
for things like moving portlets (side panels), on your page around.

But this is no longer the case fortunately now ;-).
