car523 on "[Theme: Portfolio Press] How do I use the Full-width template?"

I noticed lately that my website is showing a 'Meta' and 'Archives' and 'Search' in the sidebar...I'm pretty sure it didn't use to do this, and I liked that 'clean' non-blog, more like a Website look. When I go into Appearance/Widgits, all of the above mentioned widgits are inactive. There are four Footers there under the sidebar that I can't move or change (Footer 1, Footer 2, and so on). It was suggested to me that using the full-width template option might eliminate this problem. Would it? And how do I do that?
