[support] setting up each content area as two columns

[Shai Gluskin]

Marc,

Not sure exactly what you are talking about but...

Drupal themes typically have sidebars. Out-of-the-box Drupal installations
can easily populate the sidebar or sidebars with information put in custom
blocks or blocks generated by modules. The main content column is typically
populated by data coming from nodes (stories, pages...).

It seems like you aren't asking about anything more complex than what comes
out-of-the-box in Drupal.

If and when you do need more complex page layouts, one popular module is
called Panels (http://drupal.org/project/panels). Just be warned though,
Panels is powerful and flexible but also pretty complex to use. It would be
better getting experience building simpler Drupal installs first before
beginning to fuss with panels.

But as I said, unless I'm misunderstanding your question, Drupal
out-of-the-box does what you want.
