I also describe the method I use to prune them and tie them up. It has a bunch of pictures as well.
I've seen other trellises that I thought were cool too. On this site, I posted some photos of one that I thought was cool. Unfortunately, the google search box doesn't seem to find everything. I'm going to rework the searching on this site, so it's easier to find things.
The system I took a photo of looked kind of like a big wire shelf. The tomatoes would grow up each level to the level above. It was less maintenance than my system (although my system has some advantages too).
Where do you live, and what are you looking for in a tomato trellis?
I also have a very sturdy trellis my friend loaned me. I'll take some pictures of it soon and post them. Stay tuned. Jade

Hi Tom:
This is a fun question, and one I'm very interested in myself.
The system I have is described in this blog post: http://www.plantworking.com/blog/how-to-trellis-tomatoes
