    You have #navColumnOne and #navColumnTwo each set to 300px wide in admin > Configuration > Layout Settings > Column Left/Right Width. This is double the sidebox width and is causing the big black margins (also squeezing the center column to death!)

    Putting sidebar content into the center column can be done, but requires custom coding. Some people have posted about doing it in the past, and you may be able to find pointers by searching the forum.

    What sideboxes do you want to use in the center?

    Really all I want in there is just the categories. Kinda just somewhere for the customers to be able to just select the text instead of the pictures. And if possible, is there anyway to put a border around the center column??

    You can turn on the Categories-Tabs menu in Configuration > Layout Settings.

    (Actually, you already have it on. You can style #navCatTabs to make the text more prominent.)

    All parts of the page can have styling applied by using the stylesheet. If it is the center column below the header that you want to border, try something like

    .centerColumn {border: 2px solid #112233;}
