Hey there - got my first site going - still testing - empyrean.koevedos.com
I bought a template - and it's turning out alright. The issue is that there are items on the template which seem to be controlled by the layout box controller and others which seem to be hard coded into the pages.

As you see on my site's homepage, I swapped the text "information" with an image. I did this in the actual template itself, and do not have information turned on in the store admin. I would like to swap an image for manufacturers, categories, news, featured products and more. Is there an easy way to do this?

Also, you'll note that the output of my "manufacturers" is a list menu, where I would like a drop down. Any idea how to swap it?

Help appreciated. Sooner the better.
