Add a second Header and Footer template

The point of this hack is to add a second Header and Footer template. The reason for this is when you have your main page, or any page that has elements only it will have.

Say you wanted a column added but only on your main page and no other? This hack would be the answer. The only other way would be to have a whole new template just for 1 page.

Notice how the main page has a right column set up, but all other pages do not.

hmm that's wierd... if i add a second header footer, it will not show me the code:

PHP Code:

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: header2 -->
