Welcome to Snowbound!
This is a very simple (but also very useful) standard web layout: a fixed-width 3-column page with header and footer. There are thousands of variations of this layout, and this is no perfect solution. But it's a good starting layout that we can customize in many ways and easily give a unique touch to. The layout is made of valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS only, and it has no tables. If you remove all CSS, the page still works great in text mode - even on mobile phones.
The layout features one big image (front.jpg) which you can easily replace with your own header. The default image shows a snowy street in Porjus (northern Sweden). The haiku can easily be replaced with an ad banner. There are also CSS classes for aligning text paragraphs and images.
This layout also has a print stylesheet, that you can customize in any way you want to. Per default, navigation menus and images are removed, and only the main content text is printed. Look here for an example of how the print layout looks, or print the page out.
