Tom, and others, thanks for your excellent advice.  What if I do really 
want a completely 'different' look to the three column type layout?  Or 
change the way things work - for example, one of the new Plone sites 
quoted on the plone.org site is the UK Strategic Rail Authority.

They have a nice menuing systemn down the left hand side.  Have they 
done all of this in stylesheets?  That amount of change may be being 
optimistic for me, newbie as I am, and I've been cogitating overnight on 
what I do want to achieve and feel that I may very well get away with 
modifying CSS for most things, but I'd kind of like to know.

When I started with PostNuke, I downloaded lots of skins to give me 
something to compare with and to see what happens if I change this or 
that.  I'm a little bit lost without that in Plone.  Still waiting for 
that 'Eureka' moment...:-)
