Modified Files:
	history theme.html

Introduced $_CONF['left_blocks_in_footer'] config option that makes {left_blocks} available in footer.thtml.
There should probably be a complementary 'right_blocks_in_header' option, but I'm too lazy for that right now ...

 We suggest you use a simple text editor to edit your themes.

! PHP in themes:
 You can use PHP in the header of a theme, i.e. in the
 <tt>header.thtml</tt> file. If you want to use custom PHP functions, you can
 put them in the file <tt>functions.php</tt> within your themes directory.

! Different look for left and right blocks:
 You can give the blocks on the left and right a different look. See 
 <a href="http://www.geeklog.net/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=10&showtopic=21070">this story on the Geeklog homepage</a> for details.

! <p><strong>Polls:</strong>
  To use multi-colored bars in the graphical display of poll results, you can use
  the <code>{answer_counter}</code> and <code>{answer_odd}</code> variables in

+ <p><strong><a name="left-blocks">Left blocks in the right column:</a></strong>
+ <code>$_CONF['left_blocks_in_footer']</code> (in <tt>config.php</tt>) is a
+ rather curious option. It makes the <code>{left_blocks}</code> variable
+ available in the site's footer (i.e. <tt>footer.thtml</tt>) while at the same
+ time disabling it in the header (<tt>header.thtml</tt>).<br>
+ The idea is that this can be used for two-column layouts (one column for the
+ blocks and one column for the content) but when you want to have the blocks
+ on the right side. Simply moving all blocks to the right will not work as
+ expected, as you'd end up with <em>no blocks</em> at all on those pages that
+ normally only display the left blocks (e.g. <tt>article.php</tt> or the
+ admin pages). Setting <code>$_CONF['left_blocks_in_footer'] = 1</code> will
+ fix this, so that the blocks, while internally still treated as <em>left</em>
+ blocks, will actually be displayed on the <em>right</em>.<br>
+ The theme's <tt>header.thtml</tt>, <tt>footer.thtml</tt>, and
+ <tt>leftblocks.thtml</tt> will probably need some adjustments. It is also
+ recommended to leave the <code>$_CONF</code> variable unchanged in
+ <tt>config.php</tt> and overwrite it in the theme's <tt>functions.php</tt>
+ instead. That way, you can even leave your users a choice between, for example,
+ a "normal" theme and one with the blocks on the right.</p>
