Thanks Jason,<br />
I actually did a little extra research and found the theme SimplicityBright which was perfect for doing a two column layout. I just pasted in my existing header and footer and was good to go.<br />
I would imagine I can find the same thing for 3 column layout also, but it really does come down to exactly what you said.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

You're welcome. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
You may want to start thinking about building entire sites on a CMS as new jobs come down the line. &nbsp;It makes adding future things like blogs a heckuva lot easier :)<br />
<br />
For &quot;simple&quot; themes, I'm also partial to Customizr

EE,<br />
Occasionally I need to install a blog on websites.<br />
I always install WordPress, but I am not overly knowledgeable about WordPress so I was wondering: is there a Theme that is recommended (or commonly used) where the entire header and footer (and possibly leftlinks) will be completely removed (or replaced) with different content?<br />
Such as adding the exact header, footer and left links from the existing website so that the blog will exactly match the look of the originating website.<br />
Any recommendations?<br />
Thanks!<br />

Best WordPress theme for changing header / leftlinks  / footer

WordPress is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL for creating websites and blogs. Features include a plugin architecture, a template system and strong management, customization and search systems; through its dynamic presentation of content, webmasters have the flexibility to create websites easily.

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

Web Development

A blog is a discussion or informational site consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order. Blogs can be the work of a single individual but more recently "multi-author blogs" (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors and professionally edited and "microblogging" systems help integrate blogs into societal newstreams.
