Converting to Drupal

Hi

I need a little input regarding users and groups. I will try and explain the problem / requirement.

I need to create so called "account managers" - people who can take care of their own sets of users (but obviously not
be able to change each others' users). For example account manager A is responsible for users B C and D (and can also
create new accounts for which he would be responsible). A second account manager will have his own set of users
and not be able to edit B C or D.

I am trying to convert over to Drupal from WordPress. Everything is fairly new to me too. Anyway, I have a wordpress theme that I REALLY enjoy, and do not want to sacrifice it. I have already migrated over all of my comments, articles, and pages, but the theme is the last thing to go, then I will do my full conversion. I didn't know where else to ask, how in the hell do you convert a theme? I read the walk-through's, and most do not apply to me simply because I do not have half of the files that you have to merge. So, can someone please help me on converting this over....

The theme layout (from what I can see) would be something like the following...

-------------------------
| Title bar | sidebar
-------------------------
|
| Content section
|
|
-------------------------
| Footer
-------------------------

The following is all of the files that comprise the theme: http://www.geekbin.net/theme/

http://www.geekbin.net/theme/comments.phps

http://www.geekbin.net/theme/header.phps

Has anyone had success in converting phpbb3 forums, including the users, over to the in-board drupal forums? I think I would like to bring all of my forums into drupal. Thanks!

Need help in migrating the GameFlavor.com network and associated sites from Movable Type 3.21 to Drupal. Currently hosted on Dreamhost and would like to remain so. Just need help in migration and possible design suggestions and Drupal community maximisation.

I'm basically after the following community features which I understand Drupal can provide either built in or via plugins:

Or at least two sites for now.
working with D6.
got one site already running with drup.

an already existing site under same sever, same account.
this addon domain, under same host.

all static html.

how do I convert this site into a drupal site?

Thank you so much for your help.

Peace.

I'm currently migrating an existing website into Drupal and I need help to lay the basic architecture "Drupal-style" and plan the user interaction. I'm ideally looking for "the right way to do it" as opposed to "something that will work" and with the large amount of community sites running Drupal I'm finding it hard to find good guidance for a "no blog, no forum, no comments, business-style site".

We're talking about a fairly large site here, fully translated into 7 languages. I have designed a theme that replicates the basic layout of our existing site. That's great, but each individual page has plenty of additional formatting, pictures, etc, which necessitates plenty of HTML and CSS.

This leads to questions like:

• The general CSS is in the theme, but where do I put the CSS which is specific to a certain page?
• Should I (and the other web developers) program HTML by using the "full HTML" input filter and just typing it in directly?

The pages were designed by web designers with Dreamweaver etc. and we will continue to use the web designers for new major material, but non-technical users will do the new translations of pages and the small ongoing text changes. That's the main reason we chose Drupal, to allow this, plus it has a few other nice features.
