A Three Column Sample Blogger Beta Template
Here is a sample three column template for Blogger beta. As it is very difficult to find templates for Blogger beta I have altered one of the two column Blogger templates and made it three column. Three column templates are very convenient for blogs with a large content required to be arranged in categories.
Below is the code for the type of template shown in the figure. A word of caution before you edit your template (in html mode), back up the whole template on a notepad. You can copy the code below and paste into your template editing area while working in html mode.

Xcelsius - A Class product from Business Objects
In the world of Business Intelligence, reporting and interactivity of reports are crucial to a report's effectiveness and hence of business. And the need of the day is to integrate the vendor specific reports (or dashboards) to the product of users choice ( thats what I call people ready business). This is when Xcelsius comes handy.
For all those who still ponder what a Business Intelligence is, here's the shot - Business Intelligence is a marriage of Business Effectiveness to Technology. It calls for analytical processing of historical data to design strategies, making forecast and investment decisions. Business Intelligence, or simply, “BI,” is the act of capturing raw data, then transforming and combining that data into information that can be proactively used to improve business (link).
Crystal Xcelsius a product from Business Objects lets one to import data directly from Excel sheets to create reports comprising of different types of charts, dials,sliders etc. and then export it to pdf, ms word, powerpoint or web besides its very own dashboard. It provides a slider option to be embedded on the dashboard, which causes instant visual variation in the charts or dials upon sliding (i.e. changing the parameter representing the slide). What is exciting is that the reports can be exported to above mentioned formats without comprising on the level of interactivity. Watch the screencast describing these features.
