By keeping the footer separate from the header I can make my app more
modular, and more segregated. It is more common in django than web2py
I guess...but I find it is a good habit.
The blocks are a great addition, I have no need yet, as the method I
mentioned above works exactly as I need it to. There are LOTS of uses
for blocks though, so I am very happy they are included now. I will
definitely make much use of them.
Thanks!
