Basic 3 column layout

Basic 3 column layout

What is the simplest way to make all pages have three columns, with the middle one containing the news. Essentially, I want a right column for stuff such as advertisements, pictures, announcements etc. It doesn't have to be very wide.

Also, where do I modify the overall width of the page? Meaning, I want to stretch the page a little more to not use up so much of the center column when I add the right column.

No, unfortunately the links part is identically. However, expect some major changes in the upcoming version 2

Ok.. going to buy the full version. Was going to anyway, but was just wanting to play with it a little more first to be sure it was the right one. Think it is. Just wish the "Links" part of the program was more of a directory with sub categories. Maybe there is a suprise regarding that in the full version. Thanks. I'm sure there will be many more questions to follow.

Well, the simplest way is buying the full version, after this is a feature of Instant Styles in version 1.8 Winking Face

To add a right column in the freeware version, open site_header in the template editor and replace:

<td valign="top" width="85%">

with:

<td valign="top" width="80%">

Then open site_footer and add right after <!-- Template site_footer --> the following code:

          <td>  </td>

<td valign="top" width="160" bgcolor="#0066ff">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="160" bgcolor="#000000" border="0">
<tr>
<td>
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" width="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#008000">
<font face="Arial" color="#ffffff" size="2"><b>Example Block</b></font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#ffffff"><font size="2">
This is an example block on the right side </font></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>

Also, where do I modify the overall width of the page? Meaning, I want to stretch the page a little more to not use up so much of the center column when I add the right column.

You are looking for the following line in site_header:

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" width="90%" align="center" bgcolor="#33ccff" border="0">

Changing the 90% to a higher value should do the trick
