Below is the complete layout of the front page template: 2 Column - Edition A.

These are the available widgetized areas - you DO NOT have to use them all - if you do not use them, they will "disappear"

For example, if you don't put anything in the "main slider area" the front page left & middle columns will move up to fill its space.

If you add additional content to these areas, they will become longer and take up more space.
