I was wondering if anyone could help me to get blocks in the middle of the front page like this site: www.fresnofamous.com

I would still like to keep the left and right sidebars too.

Have you looked into regions? This is a good starting place:

If that's what you want look at the Fancy theme, probably coupled with the Panels module for multiple columns.

I am not sure as well, need more input to help. Give us something specific such as where your understanding fails.

I am just trying to get the blocks in the middle content area. I would also like to somehow set the "Story" content type to post to a block instead of just in list form on the front page. I figured out how to mess with the regions a bit but I still would like to make the Story content type to post inside a block just as the site I mentioned.

Ok, that's what I thought you might want, but the tabs part did throw me off. I did something like this a while back. Now that I look at it I used the dashboard module while what you want is the panels module because the dashboard module is retiring. I need to get familiar with the panels module but maybe that can get you started.

I dont know if panels has the capability to imbed another node, if not you might check http://drupal.org/node/23220 for ideas.
