    The center part of the main page is found in define_main_page.php. You can edit it in Admin - Tools - Define Pages Editor.

    You're going to have to be a little more specific in your questions.

    If you want to change the appearance of the site, much of that is controlled in the stylesheet. That's best edited by a good text editor like Notepad++ or Crimson Editor. To do that you'll have to download the stylesheet to your computer, edit it and upload it to the website. The stylesheet is found in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css (where YOUR_TEMPLATE is the name of your custom template).

    The FireFox browser with the webdeveloper add on is a great tool for working with the stylesheet. It allows you to make changes and see the effect on the fly. You'll have to copy and save the changes locally and FTP them to the site to make them permanent.

    Cheers, i will start playing around with the style sheets, i have been so stuck into checking the php files that i forgot about them.

    If i had to put it as a specific question (that couldn't be done with the CSS) it would be....

    thanks
