[Wsuug] Soliciting design mocks for Refresh HR

[Jon Zuck]

Just curious, why liquid? I've built both liquid and non. Really prefer
"flex" styling myself  al a ALA's Switchy McLayout. I don't see liquidity as
a virtue in itself... Line lengths can become quite unwieldly on wide
monitors; of course, we're catering to a sophisticated clientele, but
really, why liquid?
