Theme development

Hello,

I've got a question. How can you make advanced frontpages such as for example: http://www.la2day.com/. (each subcategory has his own layout, the homepage shows an overview). Is this all css or is there a module for this. I always make a simple node with text and that's it. But I want an interactive website, with different blocks/regions on the homepage (such as latest news, hot topics, ...). But my question is how do I get them in a beautiful layout in one view when you look at the homepage.

Thanks

I've been trying to edit the style.css located /themes/bluemarine/style.css. I've made the changes that I want to the style.css file but when I upload and replace the file the site does not reflect the change. It's been I while but I've done this in the past but now I cannot figure it out. I'm just trying to make a simple change to the header color so that is matches the banner I created.

Here is the existing code:

#header {
background-color: #69c;

And this is what I'd like it to be

#header {
background-color: #0d163d;

I have created a new CCK content type and now have the edit form setup exactly as I want it. The problem is that when I then view the node, the display order of the fields is not what I want. So, how do I change the order of the fields without affecting the order of the edit form?

Is the only way to achieve this to create my own node-my_content_type.tpl.php file?

If I do need to create a .tpl file, how do I ensure I re-use all the

I'm working on a website right now that consists of four different page templates:

page.tpl.php
page-front.tpl.php
page-node-sub.tpl.php
page-node-contact.tpl.php

I'm calling the tabs variable on every template like so:
[code]

[/code]

However, the view/edit tabs only appear on page.tpl.php, and page-front.tpl.php. The rest of the pages (page-node-sub.tpl.php/page-node-contact.tpl.php) do not display these tabs.
