ok, i've downloaded zenophile and i'll check it out. i also found some drupal document on creating my own themes (seems pretty self explanatory - <a href="http://drupal.org/node/226507">http://drupal.org/node/226507</a>).<br>
<br>just for the record, i am brand new to drupal and i don't really like php (namely because i read about issues with php updates not being backward compatible - something i've learned to be true in my short time with drupal). that said, drupal seemed to be the most mature, flexible, open source cms - so i use that. i am comfortable with linux, mysql, perl, etc. i'm not too familiar with js or dhtml.<br>
<br>so, i don't have that good of grasp of how exactly things in drupal work but i know the underlying systems. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 7:30 PM, Ryan LeTulle <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bayousoft@gmail.com">bayousoft@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I agree with Chris's answer that you need to use a sub-theme. That is<br>
definitely the real solution. I also stick with Zen most of the time. It<br>
has a 3-column fixed or fluid layout, and takes care of most issues you<br>
would run into.<br>
<br>
I had assumed that you were a newer Drupal user, and figuring out a theme<br>
can be daunting. If you're up for it though, that's what you should do.<br>
