Theme development

I'm trying to add my own regions to my theme but i cant see them in drupal. i have added the regions in my info.yml file:
http://nl.tinypic.com/r/f9nsr5/8

I am having a strange problem with my CSS code for my page.tpl.php page.

Here are some particulars:
1) I am using a sub-theme of Zen,
2) I am using NetBeans to modify my files,
3) My style.css imports my pagestyle.css,
4) I am using Firefox and Firebug and Safari and Web Dev Tools
5) After every CSS change, I check on the server to make sure the changes are there and, they are!,
6) Then I clear the Drupal Cache, refresh the page and, just recently, started to clear the browser cache.

Hi guys,

i like this layout of this website (www.klmz.de and im just wondering if this theme is available and or is there any similar theme, which is available.
thank you guys.

I have my login box in the head block. I get that you have to use css to customize things, but being that im new to drupal i need just a little help. What template file in my subtheme do i have to modify? What kind of css manipulation do i have to add to my styles.css to move and position this where i want it. it's obvious that i want it nice and horizontal even with the header. Any pointers or suggestions would help a lot!

I'm following all the steps for creating a zen sub theme. I'm correctly copying the STARTERKIT folder and pasting it in the right directory. I'm replacing all the STARTERKIT names with my name, then I used foo as described in the tutorial notes. I'm taking the txt out of the info file.

I'm 100% following all the tutorial directions for making a zen sub theme and its not showing up in the appearance settings for selecting it and making it my default sub theme. Can someone help please, thanks!

Hello.

For my theme I have a couple of views. I made some general changes to how the views are displayed. Therefore I used the mytheme_views_view_field(). Then I have some otehr views I made some more specific changes to, using the mytheme_views_view_field_specific_view(). Unfortunately this didnt result in what I anticipated and intended, Drupal now uses both functions to override the fields of that specific view. Can someone suggest a convenient solution? That would save me some headscratching!
