[geeklog-modules] Center block API

[geeklog-modules-admin at lists.geeklog.net]

So in index.php, we will need to call the PLG_showCenterblock ($where = 0,
$page = 1, $topic = '') several times and the plugin functions will need the
logic to figure out when they should return the formated block HTML.

Will there be anyway to prevent a plugin centerblock from firing more then
once or will there be a default position?

Is that your thinking at this time?
