[Radiant] Best Practices for multiple Layouts that have slight variations

[Jim Gay]

Michael,

Try <r:if_url matches="/your_location/">

You could create rules based upon the url to change the content  
within one layout.

If, however, you wanted to edit the layout based upon an individual  
page and not based upon the URL, then your solution is probably the  
most flexible.
I'm no expert though, so possibly someone else will chime in.
