Hey all..
First time forum poster here.
I am trying to take a site that has an existing wordpress theme installed, they don't want it changed..but,I need to have a page display differently than the rest of the site. I tried the template info on wp and I called the template page tommymommy.php and it DOES show up in the templates dropdown. But when I publish the page, it's blank...an all white, empty page.
I need to find a way to get the post area and sidebar from the existing page to display on this one.
Here is a screen shot:

Here is the template code I'm using:
