Sophomore Uses List Context; Cops Interrogate [Slashdot: News for nerds, stuff that matters] “…Last week those sites got them suspended for two days. Worse — because he wasn’t familiar with the distinction between perl’s scalar and list context, S. now has a police record”.

Does this fix the editthispage.com site?
Yep. The weblog template assumes you have all your items as rows in a table, the manila template didn’t put an enclosing <table> tag around them, so the layout was messed up.

Death to all tables, I say.
