Yikes!
I'd better get back to work on designs!
I've been looking around and it seems there is no solution to the
problem of the page footer only occupying space beneath the article --
ie not filling the full width because of the quicklink bar.
The problem is that we cannot guarantee which of the two columns
(article & quickbar) will always be the longest. All the CSS layouts
I've seen that put a footer beneath columns require one to be longer
than the other to do the "pushing down" of the footer -- and stub
articles are often shorter than the quickbar.
Anyway, I'm going to look at the skins I made with a critical eye --
comments on them would be welcome :)
