    Hello, I am going into the second year with my class website. With two weeks to go before class starts, I am making some changes to my site. One change I am considering is changing the default layout from the current (main, right sidebar) to three sections (left sidebar, main, right sidebar). But I have a few concerns:
    1. If I make the change yet don't like it, can I simply revert back to the original with no damage to the formatting? I am afraid that if I submit the change, everything will be "screwed up" and when I try to change back to the original it will also be "screwed up." What should I expect if I were to submit the change?
    2. If I make the change, will it apply to all pages on the site?
    Thank you for your help. Also, if you have any other suggestions for the site, I would love to hear them.

    You can change back at any time.

    You can also change the layout conditionally

    Thanks for your response. I have decided that I would like to change the layout of my homepage from the current layout (content, sidebar) to (sidebar, content, sidebar). How can I make that change to only the homepage (I want all other pages to remain untouched)?

    Ok, so I went into genesis layout extras and changed homepage layout to "sidebar-content-sidebar." Now my homepage looks like:
    http://www.blackboarddreams.com

    How do I adjust the width of the sidebars and the content section? Thank you for your help...

    Just a wee bump for help with this. I have been searching for a while now and have not found a solution.

    Ok, so I am desperate... Could someone please help me with this. My homepage layout was content-sidebar. I used this code to establish width of content and sidebar:

    body {
    background: #f5f5f5;
    margin: 0 auto;
    width: 1100px;
    }

    #inner {
    width: 1100px;
    padding: 0 20px;
    }
    .content-sidebar #content-sidebar-wrap {
    width: 1060px;
    }
    .content-sidebar #content {
    width: 740px;
    }
    .sidebar {
    width: 300px;
    }
    .full-width-content #content {
    width: 1040px;
    }

    Once I changed the homepage (via genesis layout extras) to sidebar-content-sidebar, this happened:
    http://www.blackboarddreams.com

    I have been trying for two days to rectify this problem with no luck... Any help would be appreciated...
    Thank you!
