Thanks. Nice tutorial. Great spirit about the whole thing. Appreciate it.

For those still groping with the system, another read that is near to this issue:http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/general-topics/page-properti...

I agree! Very concise yet clear.
I simply duplicated default, renamed it, added it under Themes and Pages, and started adjusting the CSS.

A minor question, as I got my desired effect but possibly by cheating, could you look at my php?

I made an "Upcoming Events" style page, with 2 separate editable columns in place of the one in my design's default.php. I duplicated... 
<div id="content-events">
   <? $a = new Area('Main'); $a->display($c); ?>
</div>

and renamed one a new variable. It works, but I don't totally get what the $c variable is, let alone why I shouldn't change it...
Newly duplicated is: 
<div id="content-events">
   <? $a = new Area('Right Event'); $a->display($c); ?>
</div>
<div id="content-events">
   <? $b = new Area('Left Event'); $b->display($c); ?>
</div>


Thanks for the advice and again for the process overview.

$c is the collection object, you don't need to change it :)

but you should either change one of the id's names or make them both classes, cause that is not valid html
