I actually just got another idea for OPTIONAL columns in a page, WITHOUT 
having to do anything specific for any page:

1. Create a page called Site.Columns:
(:div id="leftcol" style="float:left;width:50%;border-right:1px dashed 
black;":)
(:include {*$FullName}-Left:)

(:if auth edit:)
[[{*$FullName}-Left?action=edit|Edit left column...]]
(:ifend:)
(:divend:)
(:div id="rightcol" style="float:right;width:49.5%;":)
(:include {*$FullName}-Right:)

(:if auth edit:)
[[{*$FullName}-Right?action=edit|Edit left column...]]
(:ifend:)
(:divend:)

2. Now, in ANY group that you want the OPTION for columns, put this code 
in the {GroupName}.GroupFooter:

(:include Site.Columns:)

I like this because it gives you the option to NOT use columns on a 
specific page if you so choose... or to NOT use the main page for 
anything except a title...

This is pretty cool, layout wise... The best part being that it leaves 
you with options...
