Section element??? Am I supposed to have this?

[Hilcandoit]

I'm wanting to change the content width of just one page on my site—the home page ONLY—since it's not functionally necessary for the home page to contain all the images and columns that the other pages do. And which, on those pages, serve to divide up the space nicely, keeping the line length under control in the text areas.

Leaving well enough alone would be fine, except that this makes the line length too long for readability.  I tried creating more elements and columns to solve the line-length problem, but that's not working for me functionally or aethetically and it's driving me crazy.

I'm seeing something about a "section element" mentioned here and there in past posts, but my site editor has no such element. Are these people talking about the app called "Sectionizer"?

Halp, thanks.

You might find the following useful to add the Section element to your theme!!

Yipes....looks sorta complicated, but I will ingest some more caffeine and see if I can tackle it.

I thought I was paying for Weebly so I wouldn't have to code....

OK, I read through the instructions in the tutorial....seems doable.

But. I'm supposed to enter the "sections" code after a line that says

<div class="main-wrap">

....and I have no such line. Not for the page layout in question, which is the "No Header" layout, but I haven't looked at the others.

I really wanna make this work. Anybody?

I was finally able to add the Section Element, using the tutorial linked in the first reply to my original post.

It didn't work for me at first, so I emailed the admin of the Weebly Tricks website, and he exchanged several messages with me—without pay—to help me get it right. So I guess I'm just posting to say that Chris the Weebly Tricks guy is good people, in case it helps his biz in any way.

The bummer is that having the Section Element doesn't actually solve my real problem, which is more about padding. So I will be clogging this forum with a new question shortly.
