/*************************************************************/
Edit the file "index.php" in your default template directory.
The alias of your active item will be inserted as a class on your body.
If the menu item alias is "home", you can then style everything on that page using the class body.home page.
example usage:
/**** CSS File ****/
body rightcolumn
{
/* rule for every page */
}
body.home rightcolumn
{
/* different rule for homepage */
