What is "thefield2" ?
If it is a node type, the node template would be node-thefield2.tpl.php.
If you want to make a page template based on url, see http://drupal.org/node/139766
Depending on what you want to do, you might have to create support for a custom template with a php callback function; see excellent tutorial at http://www.chapterthree.com/blog/zirafa/different_node_templates_node_variab...

Thanks Victor!
I ended up doing what you suggested. I disabled the elements of the right sidebar that I didn't need for the new subsite. It seemed to have worked!
I have another problem now. I am using the PHPtemplate method, provided by Matt above, but it doesn't seem to work for the nodes contained within "thefield2/"
Here's what the design should look like:
http://narcosphere.narconews.com/thefield2/
but look what happens when I do this:
http://narcosphere.narconews.com/thefield2/test-4
The PHPtemplate engine should look for page-thefield2-test-4.tpl.php, then page-thefield2-test.tpl.php, then page-thefield2.tpl.php (which I have in the template folder I am using.
Why isn't it picking up the right template file?
Thanks!

For the right sidebar, you can configure certain blocks to only appear /
not
appear on certain paths, for certain roles, etc., by clicking on the configuration link.
Another approach would be to take a look at Panels 2 (there is good documentation on the Drupal site), which is a whole other way of solving your problem (making a different page content type, and then a node/%
panel
can be set to have a different layout on a content type basis.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the suggestion. I fooled around with it for a bit today and got some decent results. However, the problem I ran into is that I need to change the right sidebar as well, and I can't figure out to do that with your suggestion.
Above, the suggestion by Brett seemed like it would solve this, but when I applied his solution the CSS of the new subtheme I made broke... sorta. Now:
http://narcosphere.narconews.com/thefield2/
You notice that there is no sidebar at all, though I have set blocks up for the new subtheme, and the body are is black instead of white. Otherwise the logo looks fine... hehe.
If your way provides a method for me to be able to manipulate the right sidebar as well then I will just go ahead and use your method. I'm not sure if it's possible, though.
Thanks again!

Hi Everyone,
My boss has a special request of me. We want to make a "sub-site" of the current site we are running, which is:
http://narcosphere.narconews.com
I need to build a sub-site which will use most of the current theme but with about 15-20% of changes. For instance, I am going to need to change the banner for this "sub-site", get rid of the left column,
and
change what's on the right-sidebar.
Is there an easy way to do this without having to make a whole new drupal installation just for this sub-site?
If this isn't clear enough, please let me know and I can further explain what I'm trying to do.
Thanks!
David B.
