Re: making 4 columns
I believe the standard answer for multiple columns is to try the Neat template, which can be found on the wiki.
CSS can be live-edited (but not directly saved) using the Web Developer Toolbar extension for Firefox (CSS->Edit CSS), but since PHP code must be interpreted by the server, changes to the PHP source code have to be made on a local copy of the file, uploaded, and checked on the site. A good FTP or SCP client will make this easier with an Edit mode which automatically uploads files when you save changes to them.

Re: making 4 columns
Thanks
I will try what you suggested, but there must be some way to do that same with the default template.
I will post the results when I am able to do it.

Indeed you can do it with any template. However the Neat template contains all the necessary PHP and HTML code and logic. You just need to copy it back to the default (or any other) template.

Re: making 4 columns
Thanks I will try the neat template too.
As per the earlier Pao's suggestion I installed firefox 1.5 +edit css extension & was able to edit the css.
Now I have 4 columns but in firefox I see the page layout crumpled up where as IE6 shows excatly as I wanted.
How to edit it so it shows the same in both the browsers.

Re: making 4 columns
I suspect that's something to do with the way gecko renders tables. It may not be exactly right but try setting width: 100% on the sgShadow table. However that will mess up album and image pages so you'll need to add an extra class attribute to the gallery page table or something.
Damn tables. I wish there was a way to do that shadow effect without them.
