Theme development

I love the new software. The admin usability has increased tremendously ... but, I have the same complaint I've had since I started using Drupal 2 years ago: there are still style and design decisions being made in the core. It never seems to go away. I can strip out every item of css and install a blank theme and I still find rows and rows of nested ul's and li's with id's and classes in my themes. I know these can be overwritten using a custom template.php, but why? It should be the responsibility of each theme to define how to handle these items.

I'm using Drupal to set up a new site for my webcomic. If you don't mind, if you could take a look at what I've got set up so far (http://216.234.124.31) you'll see my problem: I have two columns on the right, and the first column contains two thumbnail views. The second thumbnail view is being pushed below the content on the far right column... it looks like the second thumbnail view has a clear attribute associated with it, but it's not from my stylesheet...

... does anyone know how I can work around this?

I display the site Title, Article Title, and Tagline in the tags of drupal website. However, when I turn on display of these items in Garland Theme Config. they also appear at the top of the homepage in big white letters.

Can someone please provide assistance on how to remove the display of Title and Tagline from the top section of the website, without removing it from the Title tag?

Where to remove SIFR in fancy theme? I just want the regular font for the titles/headlines of articles in fancy theme.
Thanks.

hi all,

hi

I am wondering how to put News Aggregation articles on the Front page i.e.to have all the article headings, teasers in the main content column of the front page in Drupal 5.x. Also, is it possible to rename "News Aggregator" link to something more easy like "Latest News" so that users can understand?

Thanks
