Hi!
If I'm not in the right forum for this kind of topic, please accept my apologies -- and it would be great if you could direct me to a more appropriate place.
I'd like to print the $title above $content and $sidebar_second, but to the right of $sidebar_first. What the best way to do that?
Here are some awesome diagrams of what I'm looking for, where:
N=$navigation
1=$sidebar_first
T=$title
2=$sidebar_second
C=$content
ZEN DEFAULT:
NNNNNNNNNNNNNN
1111TTTTTTTTTT2222
1111CCCCCCCCC2222
1111CCCCCCCCC2222
1111CCCCCCCCC2222
MY IDEAL!
NNNNNNNNNNNNNN
1111TTTTTTTTTTTTTT
1111CCCCCCCCC2222
1111CCCCCCCCC2222
1111CCCCCCCCC2222
SECOND-BEST:
NNNNNNNNNNNNNN
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
1111CCCCCCCCC2222
1111CCCCCCCCC2222
1111CCCCCCCCC2222
Thanks for your help!

This is a little bit tricky,
This is a little bit tricky, because there are two places where titles are printed in Zen templates. For non-node pages, it's printed by page.tpl.php, but for node pages, it's printed by node.tpl.php (or node-[node-type].tpl.php or what-have-you).
First, copy page.tpl.php from the zen/templates directory (or the directory of your theme's parent theme if you're using one besides STARTERKIT) into your theme's templates directory. Take it out of the #main-wrapper section and put it somewhere else - probably between #header and #main-wrapper.
Using CSS, you should be able to place a top margin on the second sidebar to push it down below the new title section and add a left margin to the new title section so that it clears the first sidebar.
Easier said than done, but this should push you in the right direction. I personally have successfully used Zen to translate some rather bizarre layouts artists have come up with.
