And what's wrong with parallelograms.  The way to tell if a bed is 
square is to measure the diagonals.  The closer to square it is, the 
closer the two diagonals will be in length.  Personally, I'd go with 
the p-grams.

One way to make raised beds is to shovel the dirt from the paths 
into the beds.  This lowers the paths, making them more 
noticeable and raises the beds.  Once you have done this, it will be 
easier to recognize the beds (soft fluffy dirt) vs. the paths 
(compacted dirt).

A good, cheap source of weed prevention is the newspaper.  If you 
don't like the look cover it with mulch (shredded leaves will do).
