one column w/sidebar below, full page theme

It appears the blogger theme is available, perhaps you could convert it to WP.

Otherwise, you may want to look at Hemmingway or Squible themes.

thanks for the reply. i’ve tried squible and really liked it and hemingway is too buggy right now. i’ve never converted a theme to wordpress but i will give it a try. thanks a lot.
