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 - http://drupal.org/node/226507).

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.

so, i don't have that good of grasp of how exactly things in drupal work but i know the underlying systems.

I love Zen.  I use the Zenophile module to create sub-themes fast.

I agree with Chris's answer that you need to use a sub-theme. That is
definitely the real solution. I also stick with Zen most of the time. It
has a 3-column fixed or fluid layout, and takes care of most issues you
would run into.

I had assumed that you were a newer Drupal user, and figuring out a theme
can be daunting. If you're up for it though, that's what you should do.
