How do you specify a layout for the blog page type?

Permalink
Hi There,

I'm very new to Concrete5 so am just getting my head around themes and page types.

I've installed a theme based on the 960 grid but had some questions on how page types work with custom design, specifically the blog page type:

- The blog page markup doesn't match the theme or the 960 layout
- The blog page content doesn't fit within the content area of the theme
- Do you alter page-type markup to fit a design or is this considered hacking the core?

Sorry if this is easy but I didn't fully understand the docs on this point or missed something obvious.

Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Ben

OK, have experimented with copying the blog_post.php file to my own theme in an attempt to over ride the default blog_post.

Functionally this seems to work - is this the correct way of handling this as it doesn't hack the core?

The only issue is that the .twocols class ads a vertical border through the content. Can I remove the class from the page type or does Conrete5 use it for other stuff?

i.e. is it better to override the border using CSS?
