Format Issues

I have having huge flaming issues with the formatting here. I got things more or less the way I wanted them, and with about a dozen links on the sidebar.

Then my entire blog disappeared. The Template format, when I check on it, was blank. So I had to re-default to the minima format which was the base of the format I was using.

And now the flippin' thing is not letting me edit the template. I'm annoyed.
