You can also create a footer.txt and write [[footer.txt]] in the template below, which will pull the contents of your footer from your text file, so another block will appear on the site. You can create a great variety of blocks. if you have a two-column template, you can create several submenus with news or widgets. this way you can easily make up any template downloaded from the Internet, or adapt one drawn by hand.
