Version is 1.3.8

First time poster and php editor.

1) Would like to change the default "green" color to a different solid color

2) I added a Flash banner to my ~/images DIR but nothing shows up (this after editing my header.php file to new flash file name *.swf

3) Would like to make the side columns more on the edges of the page and middle section wider..so it fills the page a bit more

4) Cant seem to locate my tpl_header and tpl_footer files

5) Would like to add more links where the default EZPages / Privacy Notice / Shared / Zne Cart is located...

6) What files makes reference to that background image of the golden/brown arch way i'm assuming?

I know this is a bit much to ask for a first time poster...but ANY help/links to what I need to know...would BE GREAT!!

Thanks in advance for anyone who can assist this first timer.
