Theme development

It seems that it would be very easy to display user profile pictures in nodes, comments etc as just an image without a link to the profile page. However, I have spent hours combing through search results, trying out code snippets in template.php and .tpl files and I have not found anything that works. It is kind of ridiculous, becase even on the profile page the user picture links back to the profile page which is the current page. This is also true for the redunant link of active terms on taxonomy term pages linking back to the current page, but that is another issue.

I'm working on a site that will be the online version of a print magazine. The magazine issues are produced quarterly (fall, winter, spring, summer) I have an archive page with year and season in an exposed filter. The view uses AJAX.

I wonder if someone could help me as to inform me the theme or module that I should use to produce a floating image with its comment. ...

closed: I've found it on the case study on www.basel.com

Thanks you and best regards

Hi, i am trying to learn how to build themes for Drupal.

What would be a good solution for the following scenario:

I want a three column page where it is easy to update/change the content.

First I created a page.tpl.php with 3 HTML columns (divs).
I then created a new content type.
I then added 3 new text fields to this content type, e.g 'field_for_left_col', 'field_for_center_col' and 'field_for_right_col'.
Added content, filled the 3 text fields.

When i view the page I can get all the text fields to display in one column.

At the end of a node I have the "Read more", "Comments" and "Add new comment" links...

<ul class="links inline">
  <li class="node-readmore first>...</li>
  <li class="comment-comments>...</li>
  <li class="comment-add last>...</li>
</ul>

Now, I can change/add class(es) to the ul using a function in my template.php as follows:

I have created a table using views to display some products. The headers above the columns read "item", "description", and "price".

I would really like to change these so that they are bigger and in bold. How do I do that?
