  So I am a n00b and was wondering why people start content divs in the header php file and end them in the footer? I’m looking at several template themes and it doesn’t make sense to me. Why wouldn’t one just start and end a div within the file it’s being used in (e.g. start and end the content div within the index.php file)?

  I think you want to be asking at WordPress.org, in accordance with the sticky thread at the top of the forum called Read Me First.

  We don’t have the kind of access to the php files you’re talking about.

  And when you get there my friend – a word of advice if I may – don’t go there. :)
