Theme development

i just spent a better 1/2 of hour trying to search for an answer which i couldnt find.

i want to know how i can include my own custom javascript file in a theme using the $scripts variable?

What is the Drupal best practice for using a style specifically for a node, how is this generally achieved?

I personalized my http://simplybeposted.com/ by replacing the default color backgrounds with jpeg images. The theme I use is Bluemarine. Nearly done. But on these pages http://simplybeposted.com/?q=forum/12 and admin's area, that grey background still exists. I couldn't trace from where it came from. I mean I don't know the source.

Hi

Can someone please advise me if it is possible to separate new blog postings from new blog comments in the block sidebar? And how easy it would be for someone with very little php experience to do this. I would also like to know how to change the titles of blocks in the sidebar – ex…how would I change recent blog posts to recent comments? Please refer to http://blog.visitorsstudio.org/.

Many thanks, Zara

Hi,

I'm using meta theme in my web site but I have two questions :

1. How can I modify blocks because there isnt a block.tpl.php?

2. How can I put the search box near the logo?

Thanks for the help. Enjoy! aitiba
