[Victor Kane]

Mark,

Perhaps you are not familiar with the Drupal Dojo group, which has an
ongoing series of lessons covering these and other interesting stuff, just
the thing for people getting more involved in intermediate and advanced
Drupal fine tuning and more.

The group: http://groups.drupal.org/drupal-dojo

Special group site with lesson roundups: http://drupaldojo.com

Class notes on theming lesson that was broadcast (you can download the notes
and the code from the class, and maybe even the old video podcast):

1.  notes:  http://groups.drupal.org/node/2764
2.  more references on the same lesson:
