For practice, I would like to convert an old HTML/CSS site of mine to Drupal. I already have the <div>
regions and basic structure of the page obviously, and I named these regions in my .info file. I also inserted the PHP code to print the regions in my HTML file, which I have renamed to page.tpl.php. I have removed all other content from the file.
I am having a hard time figuring out how I am going to proceed with this. Take a look at the old site:
Eurotec Automotive
I would like to retain the basic structure of the page, but I would like the text regions, for example the content under "Welcome", to become editable via a block or content. So that if any of that information changes, the site owner can simply log in and change it themselves without the help of the webmaster (this is overkill for a site like this, but it is just practice). I want everything throughout the site to remain static, except the text that the site owner might need to edit at some point.
So... how do I tell Drupal where to position my custom region? How to style my region? As it is currently, nothing will show for any of the custom regions I have made. None of the styling from my linked CSS file will show (I have cleared caches several times).
