  I am looking for your “Digg 3 Column” theme and can’t find it listed

  I am trying to build a website for my son’s boy scout troop- they need one desparately and I volunteered to help as a parent.

  I want a theme that facilitates a basic website with calendar, several typical sub-pages (about us, leadership, upcoming events, pictures, a page of “forms”- about 50 short pdfs)

  I can not tell from the theme menu which themes have this functionality- I can tell their aesthetics, though.

  Any thoughtful advice is appreciated- I am in a hurry!!!!

  The blog I need help with is troop194bedford.wordpress.com (but it hasn’t been built yet- hence my request for advice!).

  Thank you in advance!!!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Everyone who posts here wants help quickly. Please be realistic and patient ie. do not expect Volunteers or Staff to leap over every thread that was posted before yours just because you think help more quickly than anyone else. We deal with threads in date stamp and time stamp order – first posted – first served.

  Digg 3 is a retired theme and it was retired because it no longer supports all WordPress features. It is not available to those who have new WordPress.com blogs.
  http://theme.wordpress.com/retired/digg3/

  47 three column themes are found here http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/three-columns/

  All themes here support custom menus http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

  … a page of “forms”- about 50 short pdfs

  Create page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
  For the PDFs if you want to embed the document itself, you will have to use a third party application like Scribd or Google Docs. Otherwise, the documents will appear as a download link.
  See here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/scribd/

  Embed From Google Docs
