setting up a multi-column page
Why are columns of text and images on a page different widths?
To keep columns evenly sized, you'll need one of these numbers of columns per content area: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 12. Note that 5 columns across or 7 through 11 columns across a page will have varying widths. Why? It has something to do with how the templates are structured and how the page has to breakdown gracefully with moving to smaller screen sizes.
