Hi,
I'm using the Headline theme by Airspace. The general homepage layout
features a three column layout; a primary sidebar on the left, body
content middle, and secondary sidebar on the right.
But the pages only feature the 2 column layout with primary left
sidebar, and main content section. I'd like all page layouts to
feature the 3 column layout, same as the home and search pages.
I am somewhat HTML savvy, but I have not been able to find the right
piece of code yet to figure this out. can anyone help?
Secondarily, I'd like to be able to remove or make the post time/date
private. Does anyone know how to do this?

The easiest way to keep the 3 column layout...
Link your page to an actual post. That is, create a post that will be
your page. You can back-date it so it doesn't show up as new or you
can make it private (and still link to it) so it doesn't show up in
your list of posts. This way, it still looks great and you don't need
to edit any code. I've done something similar on my posterous by
linking pages to tags (http://conardpeacock.com).
As for the post time and date go here: http://posterous.com/theming/reference#block_Posts
In that section are the elements containing time and date. Find which
one you have in your theme and simply delete it if you don't want it.
I'm not sure you can simply make the date/time invisible to viewers
but visible to you. The timestamp will still be there, just not seen
so you should be able to restore it at any time.

Thanks, this was helpful.
I was also able to go in and customize the code using firebug & the
firefox web developer add on though, and then save & import the
customized style sheet. If anyone is not aware of either if these add
ons, they have been very helpful tinkering with my customization and
then saving the custom html & css. Here is a good explanation on how
you can use the 2 together to customize your site:
