I have always assumed that Inklog would force its users to do their own HTML design. Placement of content items within an HTML page would be a task left to the template. However, recently, there has been some discussion regarding using a method similar to that of the *Nukes: force layout to be column/block based and allow an administration page to determine what goes where. While I certainly agree that this is easier to use, it also reduces flexibility.
I have come up with a solution that serves both schools of thought, but it requires more work.
Your input is appreciated.
