/public_html/images > My banner file had been reduced in size to way too small in error. This was part of an effort to reduce some photo sizes for quicker page load.
More importantly /public_html/includes/languages/English/html_includes/mytemplate > define_main_page.php was modified. Replaced with the classic template file and all my footer and side boxes returned to normal. Not sure where the error was in the define_main_page.php file I'm sure something was not closed correctly but I didn't see anything so it seemed easier to start over and then adjust the wording back to where I wanted it.
I really appreciate everyone's help which pointed me in the right direction and helped to kick start my brain :)
I hope this will be helpful to someone else at some point.
