I posted this under Versatility II Forum but it is really not a template specific question,,,,,,I think.
I like the look of this www.realliving.com/SellYourHome.aspx (no it is not my site)
It looks like this site is using a CMA system and I am curious how this page layout is done. The part I am interested in are the four "blocks" with content in them. It looks like these are content items but I am not sure how get this 2x2 layout. I was trying to do it with tables but.....I got kind of lost and figured it probably was not how they did it anyway. So I am posing the question to the group
See www.realliving.com/SellYourHome.aspx
And I am using the versatility II template. But this probably does not matter in this case
Thank you for any guidance on this. - Carl Johnson

the site isn't using joomla as a CMS.. it's asp.net based.
but you could probably hack versatility ii into looking like that - Billy Zoellers

Well that just requires that you dont publish anything in the left and right collumn - this way you got the whole page for your content..
The acutal content can be published in two table columns, you could use iJoomla, make a static page with some custom css, perhaps just show the stuff on the frontpage with the build in two column layout - lots of options and does not really require any hacking.

- They used a table and graphics for the dots. Just look at the code. Note very impressive coding. The red titles are images when they could have used a red color font. The dotted lines could have been css borders instead.

You could just do a screen grab and clone out all the text and put yours in its place and then put the graphic in some content and put your copyright down below. If you live outside the US, you might get away with it - except for a few countries! ;D

Thanks all.....
I am far from being a programmer and do not know CSS but I will use some of the Firefox tools to look behind the scenes of that site as suggested above.
I thought it was an interesting look the site came up with. Not sure if I will tackle it for my site but I like the concept.
Thanks again - Carl Johnson

Again, holiday cheer. I didn't know that I razzed folks on the forum after the Christmas party. I can delete it if the humor is too much. I even surprise myself ! I hardly ever drink.
