As you know Drupal theme is
As you know Drupal theme is heavily cached.
Did you clear your cache and tried again? Usually that solves the problem.
Also, it's best practise to create a subtheme instead of modifying the openpublish_theme in case of upgrades etc.

Sorry for the confusion, but I meant how did you get the featured panel/block to span the left and middle columns?

I changed the template for the frontpage, and added a new div... my template now looks like this
<?php
// $Id: page-front.tpl.php,v 1.1.2.7 2010/06/21 00:49:06 inadarei Exp $
/**
* @file page-front.tpl.php
*
* For the list of available variables, please see: page.tpl.php
*
* Homepage template.
* @ingroup page
*/
?>
<?php print $page_header; ?>
<?php if ($show_messages && $messages): ?>
<div class="messages">
<?php print $messages; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php $showhelp = variable_get('openpublish_show_help', TRUE); ?>
<?php if ($showhelp && user_access('administer nodes')): ?>
<div class="messages status">
<ul>
<li><?php print t('Not sure what to do next? See:'); ?> <?php print l(t('Getting Started'), "http://openpublishapp.com/doc/openpublish-user-documentation", array('attributes' => array('target' => '_blank'))); ?> (<?php print l(t('hide this'), "admin/settings/openpublish/clear-help"); ?>)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<div id="left_content_wrapper" style="float: left; width: 620px;">
<div id="top bar" style="width:620px;">
<? print $topbar; ?>
</div>
<div id="sidebar-left" style="width: 290px; float: left;">
<?php print $left; ?>
</div>
<div id="op-content" style="width: 280px; float: right;">
<?php print $over_content; ?>
</div>
</div>
<div id="sidebar-right" class="sidebar" style="float: right;"><!--<h1>RIGHT</h1>--><!-- #sidebar-right -->
<?php print $right; ?>
</div>
<?php print $page_footer; ?>
As you can see a made a wrapper for the 3 divs..
Then added this line to teme info file.
regions[topbar] = bar over left sidebar and content bar
Then i went to contexts and added the "featured article" to the new region i just added.
Hopes this help.
