List view problems
The problem I am facing, is that Jeff wants to use 'out of the box' list views to display content on a page. There are several concerns I have with this. The first concern is that there is not a way to 'style' the content that comes back. Its all table based. So I cannot apply a different style to a title or an article body. I also cannot wrap content around to make it look all nice and pretty. In addition, I cannot make the display smaller than all the content coming back, in otherwords, the list area stretches out and messes up the other parts of the screen. This is the problem. I will post the fix for this problem shortly.

Valdon has written two 'custom' web parts that will provide a solution for this. The first solution is to extend the content query webpart and apply a xsl style to it. The second solution is more simple, it allows you to select the list, select the view, and select a style to view the list.
The selection of a style is actually selecting an XSL to display the content. We are very hopeful to have only a small handful of XSL's to write.
