Okay, so I've gotten this question from a bunch of folks who want to know how they can create a three-column AIM Pages profile (like the AIM Pages Team Profile).
Before November 15, when we launched Quick Edit Mode, all profiles were three-columns. After November 15, we switched to a two-column layout. Why? Two columns seems a bit more in-line with the rest of the online profiles world, plus it gives you more room in the main column for wider pictures, etc.
However, there are bunches of folks who still want to have a three-column profile. So I'm going to tell you how to do it.
It's not easy. In fact, it's going to be kind of a pain. If more people want three-column profiles, the product guys can try to make it easier to do in an upcoming release, so let us know.
Here's how you do it:
1. Delete your existing profile. There's no way around this right now -- you're going to have to delete and recreate your profile.
To delete your profile, go into Advanced Edit Mode, click "Settings," and hit "Delete Profile."
2. After you've deleted your profile, go to http://www.aimcreate.com/.pages/disclaimer.jsp?page=http://redskinsvideo.aimpages.com/templates/fan.html
This will show you a license agreement page. Accept it, and it will take you to one of the Redskins templates, which is a three-column template.
3. After you choose this template, you can wipe it clean by deleting all the Redskins-related modules and theme, and then customizing it to look and act the way you want. You should be able to place modules in all three columns.
That's it; you'll now have a three-column AIM Page profile.
Like I said, it's kind of a pain, but it's the only option we have at the moment.
Please let me know if you try it and it works or doesn't work for you, and if you want to have a three-column option again, or if you're happy with two columns.
Thanks -- Joe

Of course we want the option of 3 columns...even better would be the option of 2 columns on part of our page and 3 columns on another part!

IT WASN'T MUCH OF A PAIN!!!
BUT HOW DO I CHANGE MY PAGE TITLE?
IT STILL SAYS 'My Skins Fanatic Page*' FROM THE THREE COLUMN REDSKINS PAGE!
ALSO, CAN YOU UPLOAD YOUR OWN IMAGES FOR A BACKGROUND ... IF IT'S EVEN POSSIBLE?
