You should probably start by identifying the CSS/HTML ID or Class that the area is in. If you have Firebug, it can help you do this. Depending on what you want to alter at that point, try looking in the CSS files for your theme to see if you can locate the ID/Class for the area, then alter it from there. You could look at the page.tpl.php as suggested, but I think you will want to start with the CSS.
... I primarily want to add a column. So, I'm guessing I'll be editing templates (unless someone has something different). I was just hoping to keep everything simple so that I didn't have to keep track of what I change for updates and so that backups are just mysql dumps. Oh well.

The solution to the problem of updates is to make a sub theme of some other one. It borrows everything from its progenitor except the stuff that's overridden. If you do it this way then your parent theme can get upgraded without overwriting your modifications. You would have to do some adjusting in case the new parent theme is no longer compatible with your sub theme. But this is usually trivial. I use Zen pretty much all the time, and this is standard practice with that theme. On 11/19/2010 02:49 PM, shawn wilson wrote:
