How to Make Thematic Three Columns
If you use the Thematic framework for your WordPress blog, you have many different design options to work with. By default, Thematic uses a two-column format. However, Thematic comes with pre-defined styles for other layouts, including three-column options. To change to three columns, you need to edit Thematic to point it to one of the three-column layouts.

1
Log in to your site either through an FTP client or a file manager supplied by your host. In your WordPress directory, locate Thematic's "Library and Layout" directory. You will see several CSS files with different layouts. Those with a "3" in the title are three-column layouts. Write some of them down.

Click "Style.css" to open the main style sheet. Locate "Apply a Basic Layout." Below that line is where you set the basic Thematic layout. It looks like:
@import url('../thematic/library/layouts/2c-r-fixed.css')
Replace the CSS file name at the end of the line with one you wrote down earlier.
