Hello.
How to use CMSMS for a 3-colomn layout?
1 coloumn is menus and such, which is OK.
But I want 2 coloumns, same size, for {content}
Like a blog layout..
So I can log into back-end and actually edit in coloumn 2 and coloumn 3.
Anyone?
Thanks
Eddie.

You should be asking questions specifically related to CMS Made simple here.
Not 'I don't understand how CSS works' questions.
I am by no means a CSS or XHTML expert... and with a little bit of googling, and a little bit of reading, and some TIME I was able to do this by myself.
if your question is not directly and specifically related to CMSMS (NOT How do I do this in XHTML+CSS) then it shouldn't be here.

I know CSS.
The question was how to get CMSMS to handle content in 2 coloumns, in the back end.
I.e. how do the administrator edit the content in two different coloumns.
But thanks for the nice advice.

Add another content block to your page template (in a separate div), like:
{content block="rightcontent"}
Then, you will have 2 content blocks to edit for pages that use that template, which are in separate divs for styling.
Nullig
