Wordpress style themes?

Does anyone know if there is a Geeklog theme that looks like (or somewhat like) the Wordpress themes? Or maybe even Movabletype?

I am looking for a 2 column format instead of the geeklog standard 3 column.

Love the Geeklog backend, CMS, functions, etc but I like the simple layout of WP and Moveable Type.

If anyone knows where I could find these that would be great. I've found a lot of GL theme sites, but nothing like what I need.

In most themes, if you simply move all the blocks to one side (in the block editor), the third column will disappear.

There's one catch: Geeklog prefers left-side blocks, i.e. on some pages it won't display right-side blocks. So if you want to have all the blocks on the right side, move them all to the left side and then use this config.php option:
Text Formatted Code
// When set to 1, this will make the {left_blocks} variable available in
// footer.thtml (and disable it in header.thtml). This is really only useful
// for two-column layouts where you want the left column contain the stories
// and the right column contain the standard blocks.
$_CONF['left_blocks_in_footer'] = 0;
 

bye, Dirk
