title: Finetuning Joomla 3.1 Column Layout
body: <p>I've been banging my head against the wall trying to fix the layout on a Joomla 3.1 installation. I have 3 featured articles. Depending on how I sort them, the 1st spans the entire width of the page like I want. The next 2 are positioned side-by-side which I do not want.</p>
  
  <p>Background: This is and upgrade from 1.5.x to 3.1 using jUpgrade. I have using several different templates including all the default ones, Gantry &amp; Wright with no luck. I've attached screenshots of the layout I'm trying to copy and what's currently being output. So far I have tried adjusting the template layout settings as well as the core Blog/Featured Layout as suggested. I've seen and understand how to fix this issues in Joomla 1.5 but no concrete answers for 3.1 that have worked.</p>
