I have down loaded and "installed" a free template for 2.3. It looks nothing like the demo page did! No left and right columns nothing! It looks terrible. I followed the instructions and it is terrible. What do I do? I guess i should have left it alone. the site is: http://www.leathernecks-swfl.com/Store.htm/
If I have to go back to original will i lose all my products? I am new at this, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

You will not loose your products if you keep the same database

At this stage, it's maybe better to go on as folows:
- take a backup of your DB via phpMyAdmin
- Make a copy of your /images/ folder
- delete all files of the currect installation
- install a completely new osCommerce stotre
- import your database via phpMyAdmin
- replace the /images/ folder of the new store with your own folder
