 * I’ve hacked away at my template (Revolution News Magazine) for an online magazine
   I’m building to create a double column feature area (www.kenalu.com). The only
   easy way I could think of to do that was to build the double column into the 
   header. Took a lot of fiddling, but I made it work. But now that double column
   appears in the pages as well, and I don’t want that.
 * It seems like the easiest way would be either to create a conditional statement
   that calls the extra code only if it’s on the home page, or to call alternative
   headers on every page but the home page. Both would work well for me, I don’t
   need the other stuff that goes along with this expanded content section (a video
   and rss email subscription) so whacking it away to the simple original header
   would be fine.
 * Only problem is I don’t know where the function get_header() lives so I can modify
   it to call alternate header files or how to make the header detect that it’s 
   on the home page.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated. I dont’ really know php or css, I’m just
   faking it, learning as I go.
