   When I go into index.php and change the image of one of the columns the other columns do the exact same thing.

   I don't want to populate the columns with pages either, because I want different text under the images, not the text that happens to be on the page the column is previewing.

   So how can I populate the columns using the "default html" so I can edit it manually while being able to have 3 different images?

   Hey,
   you need to modify index.php to enter your "default html text". Afterwards go to Display Options > Mainpage Options and select "HTML" for all 3 columns.

   Well that is what I'm doing for the text, but like I said one of the problems I'm experiencing is with the images.

   Every time I put an image that replaces the default one into one of the columns the other 2 columns apply the same image.

   I want all 3 columns to have different pictures. How do I do that? (without using the page preview image solution, because that would require me to populate the columns using "pages", and therefor I could not edit the text.)

   Hey,

   The code dictating the image path and size is commented out. Replace this code:

   $placeholder_image1 = get_bloginfo('template_url').'/files/medium1.jpg';
   #$placeholder_image2 = get_bloginfo('template_url').'/files/medium2.jpg';
   #$placeholder_image3 = get_bloginfo('template_url').'/files/medium3.jpg';
   
   $placeholder_image1 = kriesi_build_image(array('url'=>$placeholder_image1,'height'=>'124','width'=>'280'));
   #$placeholder_image2 = kriesi_build_image(array('url'=>$placeholder_image2,'height'=>'124','width'=>'280'));
   #$placeholder_image3 = kriesi_build_image(array('url'=>$placeholder_image3,'height'=>'124','width'=>'280'));

   with this:

   $placeholder_image1 = get_bloginfo('template_url').'/files/medium1.jpg';
   $placeholder_image2 = get_bloginfo('template_url').'/files/medium2.jpg';
   $placeholder_image3 = get_bloginfo('template_url').'/files/medium3.jpg';
   
   $placeholder_image1 = kriesi_build_image(array('url'=>$placeholder_image1,'height'=>'124','width'=>'280'));
   $placeholder_image2 = kriesi_build_image(array('url'=>$placeholder_image2,'height'=>'124','width'=>'280'));
   $placeholder_image3 = kriesi_build_image(array('url'=>$placeholder_image3,'height'=>'124','width'=>'280'));

   and:
   

   $placeholder[2] = $placeholder_image1

   with:
   

   $placeholder[2] = $placeholder_image2

   and:
   

   $placeholder[3] = $placeholder_image1

   with:
   

   $placeholder[3] = $placeholder_image3

   Save and upload the modified index.php - all 3 images should display properly afterwards.
