Hi Kim, I would think that most of the layout is already there. The only thing missing is the right navigation area. For this, I would think you should edit jetspeed/WEB-INF/templates/vm/layouts/html/default.vm and add a right bar the same way it's done with left/top/bottom. That's it. You then obviously need to edit top.vm, left.vm... and e.g. put the login into the left bar instead of the top one. Things like the editaccount screen are only shown in the "main" area anyway, so you would not need to worry about how to put two panes on a page. HTH Stefan
