I created a 3 column fixed-width, equal height layout. Being the newb that I am and although I properly created a child theme replete with all my edits, I am quite certain I am not following the Thematic Methodology. To achieve the desired layout I edited a child version of page.php, single.php and template-page-blog.php, and of course my child style.css with a few custom functions thrown in. This was effective, but I would like to do it "correctly" and am not sure how to go about replacing the [all] styling outside of the content div. Here's a look at the code that I introduced in the child theme page templates:
<!-- Nothing Changed Above Here -->
<div id="container">
<div id="container2">
<div id="container1">
<div id="col1">
<?php
// calling the widget area 'page-top'
get_sidebar('primary-aside');
?>
</div><!-- #coll1 -->
<div id="col2">
<?php thematic_abovecontent(); ?>
<div id="content">
<!-- Nothing Changed Here -->
</div><!-- #content -->
<?php thematic_belowcontent(); ?>
</div><!-- #coll2 -->
<div id="col3">
<?php
// calling the widget area 'page-bottom'
get_sidebar('single-top');
?>
</div><!-- #col3 -->
</div><!-- #container1 -->
</div><!-- #container2 -->
</div><!-- #container -->
<!-- Nothing Changed Below Here -->
