This could definitely fill the role of 'overriding per page', although I  
need to admit I might be too much of a noob to figure out exactly how to  
do it (determine if i'm at a single story). Is there a variable that tells  
us this, or would it be more along the lines of grepping the url? Although  
I'd like to avoid absolute-positioning this (in case I ever write more  
than one page), but I guess it's the only way to go.

P.S. - do plugins need to follow the style guidelines?
