Hello, I am developing a journal-website using Drupal and tested a number of themes.

I am now working to create my own theme using a 3 Column CSS layout, and found a
few neat layouts at:

http://www.glish.com/css/7.asp
and
http://bluerobot.com/web/layouts/layout3.html

I find these themes simple starting points, and plan to use the Bryght.com article at:
http://support.bryght.com/articles/converting-css-html-design-phptemplat...
to convert these into the Drupal system.

However, I'd like to know if anyone has already done this for a decent 3 column layout
such as the ones above, and if that theme is already publicly available.

Any help appreciated.

Steven Wittens Friends Electric theme is probably the best example of an all css Drupal theme which supports 3 columns. I'd take a look at it and maybe base yours on it.

My Sands theme uses a 3 column CSS fluid layout adapted from skidoo two.

Friendselectric is great and a lot more bug-free than my theme, but I've find it's painful to customize. Easy customization (via segregated CSS rules) was one of the things I focused on when I made Sands.

I'm putting the finishing touches one a couple. They are not publicly available yet but if you contact me (via my profile page) i'll send you the files.

I used this example to make my 3col layout.

With this layout you can hide the side-cols for certain parts of the website. To see a working example of this you can visit the site I used this layout on at www.paxromana.org.

I'd also check out www.oswd.org. There are a lots of good looking designs there.

Thanks people. Your notes help push me further down this exciting road!

Quick question: Does anyone know if Civicspace has three column layout I can use as starting point?
