I want to hide the What's new sidebox and Best Sellers Sidebox on my home page but I still want the column to be there as I want to create image graphics/ads to place in the side box on the right hand side.

Would it be best to code these in, or add sideboxes for banner images?

Thanks a bunch. I am thinking I need to edit the Best_Sellers.php file and Whats_New.php?
