In drupal 6 is there something good to use until Panels 2 is released?
Obviously something that does a similar function! I have several different types of pages with different blocks on each and using Regions doesn't make it more clear. Panels 2 looks really useful.
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Have you tried the Zen theme? I like Zen Classic. It gives many regions for placing blocks. By default it has Header, Content top, content bottom, left, right, and footer regions. I have been able to use this theme on every drupal site I have made. If you elaborate on your problems with using regions I would happily detail more information.

Hmm, what are you trying to accomplish. I find with blocks in a layout they are usually shown on all pages, one page, or all pages in one category. All three of these are super easy to accomplish and not clunky at all. if all your pages have the URL /content/page-title then i can see using blocks would be a pain. I just have each main nav link in a sub dir and its sub pages in that same dir. It makes block placement a cinch.
Well the problem is that arranging blocks to appear on different pages via the blocks admin page is not nearly as flexible or sensible as using panels. Panels makes a ton of sense. I'm going about it the old way in the meantime, which works ok. But to create lots of pages with varying layouts, blocks is pretty clunky and gets out of hand.
