 * How to make columns
 * This page explains how to create columns by creating a new page for each column and then inserting that page into a new page. **This is no longer needed--there is an easier way**. Just copy the code on the page to insert "Other HTML" widgets directly into your page (one for each column).
 * You can change the percentages for different column counts/sizes. You can also change the background color of the columns. For instance, I changed the percentages in the code from 50% and 50% to 33%, 33%, and 34% and added another "mid" column in order to create 3 columns. Also, I changed the background color to: 00CCCC. View other HTML codes for colors here.
