Hello ALL,
I am going to set up a news web site with drupal 6.14.
It present sports channel, music channel, economy channel, medicine channel.
In each channel, news stories are provided. Each channel is shown as a block, with a block title indicating what the channel is about. Under the block title, 9 newest story titles (hyperlinks) are listed for users to click. The block title is also a hyperlink. When users click the block title, a NEW window will be brought up to show more news story titles.
I would like the four channels occupy the content section of the Acquia Marina theme.
the layout of my home page looks like
--------------------------------------
| left sidebar| content section | right sidebar|

Not sure if this helps
..but you could try creating a table resembling yor layout then call a block to a particular row column whatever using PHP (not sure what the PHP should be but someone else here will!)
