I am trying to build a theme for a website
My format is:
Header (at top obviously)
Sidebar (for navigation at left)
Content (next to sidebar, contains text and pics)
Footer
Now what template files are needed to complete this?
I have a header.php, sidebar.php, footer.php, index.php, and style.css
Which template file would be responsible for the content and pics in the content area? I'm assuming it's Page.php, but I wanted to make sure before I begin coding.
Thanks!

Hi LedZep2147,
You're on the right track! If you are looking to create a website for WordPress, I'd check out this 3-part series done by Chris Coyier. He single-handedly taught me how to theme for WP, and I think his explanation is wonderful and thorough. It's also a fairly simple theme, so it's something you could relate to.
For general theming questions and to get started, check out the documentation.
Sorry to be so vague - it kind of depends on the theme. And, frankly, I think Chris does a good enough job to where it would save some typing and confusion!
Hope that helps!
