Well looks like I may have answered the problem myself…. this is a bug, I think, that needs to be fixed in the template. It appears that the “footnav” position is what is missing from the layout. I was able to create this in the layout file (template options)
<blocks name="bottom" style="xhtml">
<block name="botsl-2" style="jaxhtml">user4</block>
<block name="botsl-1" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user5,user6,user7,user8,user9,user10</block>
<block name="navhelper" type="navhelper" main-inner="1"></block>
<block name="footer" type="footer" main-inner="1"></block>
</blocks>
and add the following above the last line for “footer”
<block name="footnav" type="footnav" main-inner="1"></block>
