Since I'm feeling nice and someone asked for it, here is the code I use to display my featured products in 2 seperate rows. This took me a while to do, since I'm not an expert in SMARTY tags. Anyhoo, here it is.
Code:
{* $Id: featured.tpl,v 1.13 2002/05/20 06:55:20 lucky Exp $ *}
{* petsupplyonline featured products template *}
{* not released under any licence, not allowed to sell this *}
{capture name=dialog}
{if $f_products ne ""}
{section name=product loop=$f_products}
{ if %product.first% }
<table border="0" width="500" align="center">
{/if}
{ if %product.index% is even }
<tr>
<td><table width="250" border="0" >
<tr>
<td width="80" rowspan="5">
{* IMAGE *}
<a href=product.php?productid={$f_products[product].productid}&cat={$cat}&page={$navigation_page}>{include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid=$f_products[product].productid product=$f_products[product].product}</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
{* NAME *}
{$f_products[product].product|escape}</font>
<font class=ProductTitle></font>
</td>
</tr>

{* DESCRIPTION *}
{$f_products[product].descr|truncate:135:"...":true}
</td>

</td>
