Theme development

Hi

- What is the easiest way for non-programmers/non-techies to manipulate/develop/modify/apply themes/templates in Drupal?

- What do you recommend PHP-templates or XTMPL-templates? And which template would be the easiest to modify
(example: Pushbutton or Grey Box)?

- In case which folder apart from the themefolder are relevant?

- Is it enough doing this using Dreamweaver?

- Does it matter if the SQL-database is "up and running", while working with themes?

  <title><?php print $head_title ?></title>
  <?php print $head  ?>
  <?php print $styles  ?>
  <.script type="text/javascript"> </.script> <-- this one; why is it here?

note that I added the dots to trick the input filter.

Any insights welcome. Thanks.

Hi,

I've just set up my first content type and added a node. I've read a good number of tips here on themeing flexinode, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around it. (I'm looking at the info here: http://drupal.org/node/26398)

This is what I'd like to do:
I plan to make about 1/2 dozen content type with flexinode. I'd like to customize each one via themeing.

So, I'd like to "theme all the fields separately", and to "theme flexinode at the node level" I suppose.

Hit to all!
I am a bit new to Drupal, however I find it a perfect tool for web developpers who want to create dynamic content web sites!!
