got something like this already sorted.
will release as open source soon.

need to write documentation and a few minor bugfixes.

Yes, happy to share it. I have attached it as a zip file here. The code consists of the themes folder, which is mostly .ss template files, css, images and so on, and the php class files and JavaScript in the mysite folder. The class files show how the Content Blocks and articles are put together. The cb.js file is used along with the styles in layout.css to handle the construction of the round-cornered boxes.

I have only included the minimal in-line comments in the code, but if you want to know specifics post the questions and I will try to answer them here.

I should mention that I have used this layout on my live site now: http://www.tellura.co.uk/ and it is working out well.

Good luck and if you improve it (shouldn't be difficult) share it back!

Ian.
