Yes, it does (assuming you meant right side blocks, not left side blocks, the
second time you said it). It sounds like you want something like changing (in
article.php):
$display .= COM_siteFooter();
to
$display .= COM_siteFooter(1);
Now, this probably is not exactly what you want, as it gives you *two* right
columns, not one, which can seriously infringe on the space for the article
itself.
If you edit the article.thtml file in your layouts directory, you can remove
the cell that contains {whats_related_story_options}; that will remove those
two blocks completely.
Which is probably closer to what you want, but not quite.
If you want both sets of blocks, the problem you're going to run into is that
COM_siteFooter(true) opens up a new cell to place its right blocks into. So
getting them to share space is going to require (I suspect) more than simple
programming. It might be possible to program COM_siteFooter (in lib-common.php)
to "know" when it is in an article, and then not open a new cell.
