hello,  
I have 2 questions about radiant:  
First:  
I have layout with sth like this:

I make a Page and I want to put in body-left for example: Hello word!  
and to body-right: Hello Hello?  
how do this? becouse if I write sth it appears the same text in left and  
right body  
what I should do to make it work?

And the second question:  
I have tree:  
-Home Page  
- About  
- 2008  
- april  
- march  
- january  
- 2007  
- december  
- march  
- july  
- april

how to create a navigation in About page, that it will automaticly  
generate menu with years and months?  
like this:  
2008  
april  
march  
january  
2007  
december  
march  
july  
april  
I have it now like this:

\<r:find url="/about"\>  
\<r:if\_children\>  
\<r:children:each\>

### \<r:link \>\<r:title/\>\</r:link\>
  
\<r:find url="/about/2008"\>  
\<r:if\_children\>

```
      <r:children:each>
       <r:link ><r:title/></r:link>
      </r:children:each>

    </r:if_children>
  </r:find>
</r:children:each>

```

\</r:if\_children\>  
\</r:find\>

but it didn’t work the way as I want:)  
could anyone could help me with this?

make appropriate page parts. r:content defaults the the “body” part  
\<r:content part=“your\_part\_name\_here” /\>  
There are some details about this here

You don’t need that second r:find because you are already scoped to  
the “about” page, and r:link defaults to the page title

\<r:find url=“/about”\>  
\<r:if\_children\>  
\<r:children:each\>

### \<r:link /\>
  
\<r:if\_children\>

```
      <r:children:each>
       <r:link />
      </r:children:each>

    </r:if_children>
</r:children:each>

```

\</r:if\_children\>  
\</r:find\>

I haven’t really used Archive pages much, so off the top of my head I  
can’t give you a code sample, but take a look at using Archive and  
ArchiveMonthIndex page types

Do those month pages exist or are you trying to automatically generate  
that list based on when the child pages have been published? Do you  
have _any_ child pages of 2008 and  
2007?\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
