well i dunno weather youve seen the current default template for the cms but its nothing special, defiantly needs to be changed xD
but imo just go for some simple code and work off it, you dont need anythin too pretty to play with ur php skills ![]()

Rhys,
best bet is to do a simple layout with tables buddy. Colspan = 3 for the top, then end that row. For the main panels, just define the widths. I find 10 10 and 80 work well.. Or 15, 15 and 70. Just set a bunch of css styles to the elements, and volia. You can actually make a decent layout if you use GFX and if you know your CSS. ![]()

Rhys, Welcome to the smart side of the force!
Frontpage is seriously bad... And MS even excluded it from their office suit because it's `helpfulness`. RoMeO, that was harsh xP Rhys, CSS is the way to go, Practice your use with tables, then slowly (And i mean very slowly) move onto div's.. It's quite a big move over, so good luck
