Thanks carpeperdiem, I think I understand bit more about this now. However I am confused about the page ID.

1)First of all, when ever you generate a static page in X-cart it assign an ID # to the page, but does that # change? If I add, delete and also change to POS of these static pages, would that mess up the PAGEID? And is it also possible to manually assign page ID so that it could be better managed?

2)how about the other pages? such as home page, product pages and so on. the code on your last post:

{if $main eq "pages" and $page_data.pageid eq "1"}
3rd column code goes here
{/if}

basically says: if pageid equals to 1, then display these(3rd column).

when I just added this into my home.tpl (btw, I haven't play around too much with this, since I have other issues that I need to resolve first), the 3rd column at the home page would disappear. This probably because the homepage does not equal to pageid 1. So how do I make it so that only the new FAQ/Tutorial section has 2-column layout? (sorry this sounded like "please spoon feed me", but I am just too much of a newbie to figure this out.)

3. How would all this be affected if I installed a SEO mod, such as cdseo, DSEFU or XC SEO?

Thanks in advance
