<br>The screen looks a bit different in different browsers (esp column width) but basically, I am more interested in cramming in more<br>content while retaining conceptual clarity.<br>I believe in max info on minimum pages to keep the site tree as pruned as possible to avoid fruit that no-one can find.

How did they get that block there?
<br>...<br><br>Would anyone else be interested in exploring how others have customised their Moodle front page? Themes would come into this but I<br>am more interested in the use of various blocks and their arrangement on the page to increase usability.
