Correct Zen Cart Errors

I have a Zen Cart site that needs editing. This is a very small job although if you do well I will come to you for larger projects. I need a Zen Cart MASTER. I have done all the required steps to make these changes myself although have failed. This leads me to believe it is coded into the template I purchased. These are the things I need done below: 1). Remove new products date. (This product was added to our catalog on Sunday 28 March, 2010.) 2). Remove check for stock levels. 3). Create a seperate General Documents Sidebox. Where I can list free articles/general documents. Example [login to view URL] The sidebox is labeled News Articles. I just need 1 sidebox added. That is all I need done at this time. I have changed these things in the store admin but it didn't work. You must be able to show expamples of Zen Cart customizing that you have done.
