I am trying to get my front page in Drupal 6.3, and only my front page, to look like this:

I am using the Marinelli template, so the top-menu area is fine already. However, I do not want the 80-10-10 column layout to be site-wide, so I need to figure out some way of having the specified column structure and the ability to have nodes within that structure. Would Views be the way to do this? I'd appreciate any advice.

Hi,
Write the seperate template file for front page..page-front.tpl.php is template for front page.

Thanks,
Raj.

I could write a separate template file for the front page, but then how would I set it as the home page? And would this allow me to manage nodes on the front page?

u just make a separate template file for ur front page

take ur page.tpl.php file and make the necessary changes for the front page and save the file as page-front.tpl.php
that will display it for the homepage only

Okay, I could do that, but this is what I am worried about: will Drupal then display all of the sidebars site-wide anyway? In other words, what setting to render the sidebars takes precedent? The page.tpl.php file or the Drupal settings?
