[Mediawiki-l] how to looks of the front page

[Alistair Johnson]

Alternatively, you can hack up a table-based layout for MediaWiki.  I did
this for our MediaWiki based Intranet & it took all of a couple of hours to
deconstruct monobook & rebuild as nested tables - from there changes were
trivial.

It sounds like what I've done with http://www.IslandSeeds.org .

It wasn't trivial. Some of the monobook CSS elements have absolute
positioning that I had to change to relative.

I can send you the .css file if you like.
