It is also possible to simply add a second body property to the HTML type. If no two links are formatted the same way for example, this would be the way to go.
Hope this helps.

I am a newbie so may (probably) be missing the obvious.
I am building a site that needs the basic framework that FarCry caters
for really well, header, footer, navigation, search... love it, love
FarCry already. What I am stuck on though is the main content area and
how best to define my content and template structure.
The content area of the site I am building is split into two distinct
columns... the main body text and a smaller column that contains
assorted information... links, news, text, and other bits and peices.
It's not like the smaller right hand column can be defined as a series
of news items.... please look at the links below to see what I mean (my
site is directly based on the content from these links)

Should I be building the content as one main peice of HTML for the body
area and then another peice of HTML for the right hand column.... if so
how do I do that? Is it a matter of building an HTML page under a
navigation node as the main body HTML, then adding an extra HTML page
at the same node level... the page template then rendering the main
HTML as the body content... then renders the sibling page as the right
hand column? (i.e. the right hand column becomes a single HTML page in
it's own right.
I suppose the fundamental thing I'm asking here is how does one handle
site layouts in a CMS that are expected to be rendered in multiple
columns (not table columns as such, but distinct content area
columns).... such that the end user (client, non HTML savy) can mange
the content themselves? It is obvious to me how this would be handled
in situations like news item listings, but the right hand column
content in my case is too varied to be locked into a template structure
like a news item listing.
Thanks for any advice!
