Wzzzup all,
I'm a new user of Drupal and could use a bit of information/help. My current site http://lazykatz.com is/was in need of an overhaul due to browser compatability, outdated options, etc. After a year of putting together a new site with debut a couple weeks away, my computer crashed/died, lost everything and I had to buy a new computer and basically start over. With my site being so large and with multiple subdomains, I decide to use a CMS and chose Drupal in hopes to get new site up alot sooner than hand coding 100's of pages again.
current issues:
I am creating my own theme, but would also like to add a few others themes to allow users to choose from. I uploaded a few themes from here, created a couple of dummy accounts, etc. When I change the theme in a dummy account from default, it simply shows the raw template, nothing from default template like boxes and columns show.
Is there a way to get default layout/settings to show across mutlipe templates or do they need to be all edited individually?
Creating pages/nodes/catagories... when using page creation in administartion, it does work, but it shows on page like a forum post, not a new page. How do I create an entire new page or should I create a html page and add modules/boxes to them.
Here is a basic look of new site, http://new.lazykatz.com that I had on server before losing everything. It shows the basic layout..etc.. it will give you a general idea of what I'm trying to accomplish, and yes it is all done in css including navigation. (navigation is there, not linked up to anthing.. it is a single page look) I will post the actual new look as soon as I can, hopefully with Drupal intigrated.
