[Wikinews-l] Around enWikinews - September '09

[brian.mcneil at wikinewsie.org]

In IRC, shen Shaka mentioned doing a newsletter type update I thought it
would be a good idea to incorporate this into {{Howdy}} - give it an
extra tab for "News" and embed another page or template with stuff like
the below bulleted list.

Adding the extra tab is not a problem, but {{Howdy}} is already
displaying badly in Firefox on Ubuntu. When I looked at it to see about
adding an extra tab it is displayed such that the tabs along the top are
wider than the box containing the currently displayed message. I can't
see an obvious way within the {{Howdy}} template to, say, increase the
template width to 90% of page width.
