Any thoughts on that? The end goal is to get a series of category columns appearing down at the bottom of the homepage. Chances are, I'll do the category columns using an existing widget... Was wondering if the best solution might be to just do as above, but just moving the "index bottom" widget area above the footer rather than having it wrapped in the main content column. I'm sure I should be able to figure this out on my own, but... my PHP skills are a bit limited when it comes to writing custom functions, etc. Would appreciate any help.
