I hacked around 4whitebusiness theme in the repository, but came to an issue

I want to just use the middle blocks (left-center-right)
When I disabled everything from left block, I still get a big white space.
I tried editing the theme.html by reducing the table width perctage to 0%, but that didnt do anything

http://mtcyouth.websiteallies.com/index.php

is the website for now...if u get a MySQL error try again later, this free site to have issues time to time..nothing with my site, its the host which has issues..but cant complain when its free right?:)

        <!-- Start left blocks loop -->
        <{foreach item=block from=$xoops_lblocks}>
          <{include file="4whitebusiness/theme_blockleft.html"}>
        <{/foreach}>
        <!-- End left blocks loop -->

      </td>

If I may piggyback,

This option doesn't exist for the left column like for center and right columns??

<{if $xoops_showrblock == 1}>

Oddly, no.

However, you can use
<{if !empty($xoops_lblocks)}>
<!-- Insert left blocks loop -->
<{/if}>

...which achieves the desired result.

Dunno if it's right or not, but i just copied/pasted the source from your site into Dreamweaver, and there seems to be a few unclosed tags in there.
You might want to do the same with the original into a html editor that does code highlighting.

yeah it might not be my code....this site ads their ads with their codes...so it might be theirs...
I edited all my pages through dreamweaver...I only found only issue with the </body> but i dont understand why its highlighted, since its supposed to be there.

That's true. It won't work at all without the </body> tag lol.
It's probably worth asking - did you set "Update module template .html files from themes/your theme/templates directory?" to yes? (in system admin>Preferences>General)
