[TYPO3] No content in Left or right columns

Matthew:

It is completely standard. Zero line in template setup TS. No custom  
Typoscript anywhere.

After reading your mail, I spent some time reading to see whether  
there *should* be something there (and tried a few things), but from  
what I saw (including the movie  
"howto_080_create_new_website_based_on_standard_template.avi", the  
template should work "right out of the box," without any custom  
typoscript. Right?

Should it matter, I should mention this was a Fantastico installation  
of Typo3 version 3.8.0.

I am more confused than ever,

Yann
