You may also use portlet references to achieve this kind of effect. For example to create a page with two rows, 1st row with 1 column and 2nd row with 2 columns:
1. Create a two column page and place your portlets in the respective columns. 2. Create your main single column page. 3. Drop a portlet in the first row. 4. Drop a reference to the two column page in the second row. By default, you must be an admin to select references in the layout customizer. The references are now suitable for all situations though and they have certain limitations. Some of the limitations are documented here http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-jetspeed/README?rev=1.29&view=auto . Best regards, Mark C.
