Tables are embedded in the Arc code for news.yc, as brett mentioned, but probably it could be rewritten in a few hours for a list-based layout. Of course, changing the layout would require an Arc developer, which is the disadvantage to not using templates. You may have noticed that most hackers seem to think web design is unimportant and/or should require a programmer for each change.


As a programmer, I can tell you I really don't mind that changing my website requires a programmer. It's perfectly convenient for me.

The only reason to do something differently is a client requirement, or a desire on my part to get someone else to do stuff for me.

That's refreshingly honest. :)
