Can you change the layout from page to page?

Hi. I just purchased Artisteer a few days ago and love all the different design options it creates. My question is.....say I want to create a static site using mostly pages, and wish for each of my pages to have a different number of columns. For example, I would like my homepage not to have a sidebarr, but want to add a right sidebar to the 'about me' page. Is this possible? I tried installing 2 instances of wordpress in my fantastico hosting cpanel, and I can add an instance of wordpress onto my main domain, but I can't figure out how to keep the same menu bar across the top so my user can easily navigate from one to the other. I hope this makes sense.

Instead of installing Wordpress again and again simply create new page templates and assign one to every page where you wanna have different layout, following post will be helpful in creating new page templates:

Garry's approach is the best way to tackle this type of issue, given your description. That said, if you do not have much experience with page templates, css or html an easier (non-technical way) would be to install the Headspace plugin and then create multiple themes in artisteer (slight variations on your original) and then activate different themes for each page.

Probably will take you some trial and error to get the right look and feel on different pages but you won't have to code anything.

I'm wrapping up a video tutorial for Page templates today including conditional tag formatting options as well if you want to go the more efficient way with code.

Brett -- Keep us posted on your video. I love visual training though this forum has been terrific. WordPress support is also good but I've found sometimes just "googling" for a solution does the trick. At some point it seems we all have the same (or at least) similar stumbling blocks.

Looking forward to the video!

Awesome! Thanks guys. Very helpful information. I am at all a techie! I have this huge fear of learning how CSS works, though it's probably all in my head and not that hard. I will probably go the plug in route. Thanks again for the information.
