At the top of my home page, directly underneath the header, I'd like to have a billboard-like area (called a feature_box in some styles). Basically, it's a large rectangle which spans all or most of the page's width. The billboard containers I'm thinking of usually have different background colors than the rest of the site, so they stand out, and usually have one column with a little bit of large text and another column with an image. (See http://www.webmastermgr.com/ for an example.)
Underneath the billboard, the page has its "regular" formatting--multiple columns, sidebars, whatever. Sidebar tops would be just below the bottom of the billboard.
I see a lot of sites with this feature, and I haven't been able to figure out how to do this with Atahualpa.
Thanks, as always! -- Al C.
p.s. Title should say "How do..." not "How does..." :-)
