Maybe someone can shed a little light on the method to produce a site template that will have different looking pages, for instance I want the front page in joomla to have 2 colums and the next and all following pages to have 3 columns, is this as easy as having 2 different css files and apply them using the page class suffix in joomla?

I would suggest to design 3 columns and make them collapse. Then, you can assign what appears where.

I don't know if we are talking about the same thing anymore, I was talking about Joomla - and now collapsing columns are included in latest versions.

THIS IS A JOOMLA RESPONSE ONLY...
Here is one way to do what you want. You need to have mulitple templates installed in yoyur template manager, let us call them template1 , template 2 and template 3.
You must have one as the defaullt, and here weI will make it template 2. Now this means that every pages that comes up will be in Template2 style (let us say that it is two columns). This is all set in the Template Manager
Now the question is, 'How do we get a page to come up looking like Template3' (let us say three column style). Well, in the Template Manger click on Template3 and you will see the Menu Assigment. So here, you can assign the template3 style to any menu selection that you like.
Now if we assigned this to say menu items Warranty and Products, these will come up as template3 style All other menu selections will come up to the default template....
Kind Regards

You can add the following to top of any template to be used and another(indivisual) template:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Links
*/
?>

You should open your page.php from your theme files and insert following code on top of it:
<?php
/*
Template Name: your new template name
*/
?>
and your new template will be available to be assigned to any page on your blog/site through your wordpress admin (when you add a new page you get a dropdown on your right to assign a template to that page)

Thanks...... it did work. I renamed "your new template name" to Single Page and it was there. Wish i could also know how to make that single page really a single page... Or how about a page where i have only a right sidebar or a page where i have only a left sidebar. Could you teach me Garry.... Many thanks to you. By the way i saw a glitch on a site. If you embed video, it overlaps the sub menu on the navigation. See www.freefreestuff.org
Go on Free Offers and check out sweepstakes on the bottom. See what i mean

To make Joomla module columns collapse just do not assign any modules to that position. So if you want no right column just have no mods set to the right position, same with the other columns. it is very simple.

While creating a new page template by copying code from page.php remove following code which is associated with one of your sidebar, if your theme have two sidebars it will be two times so needed to be removed from both places :
<div class="sidebar1">
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar1.php'); ?>
</div>
Can say anything after seeing the flash which overlaps

All embedded videos and flash to that matter must be transparent so they would not interfere with the menus. This is not an Artisteer or any other CMS problem. You need to take care of it yourself when embedding the media. You can check Google how to do that...

Garry or anyone else.....
How do I then modify the new page so that the margins are re-set? For example, if I removed one side bar and now want the new page to not have the blank area where the sidebar use to be....and the content uses the total width of the page. I can implement the first part, but having trouble with getting the content to occupy the whole page.
