Can I make zen cart look like this?

There is NO html to modify.

Pages are cobbled together by PHP calling in various resources - depending on what the viewer has selected. These pages are "on the fly" html and are not stored. The minute a user goes to another page, that html evaporates.

Sorry, I should have been more clear.
I basically just cut and pasted the PHP code that generates the html category list. I wanted to move it from the side bar to the header section.
Well, I did have to add span tags to wrap around the links to give me an extra point to anchor the CSS to, but I did it in such a way that the span tags are dynamically generated along with the category links.
Was this the wrong way to go about this? I assumed that I could make these kind of changes as long as I kept all the changes within the custom templates directory.

Not to change the subject, but I also created an EZ page (about page). I wanted to link to it from the about tab in the header section. So where the heck is it stored and how do I link to it?

Never mind, I figured this out.
I just needed to enable the link in the header from the admin section.
Thanks

The kinds of changes you describe are pretty much the way most mods are built. As long as you use the template folders for changed files, you're good.
More advanced developers can often make functional changes without poking into original files much or at all, and this is good for future development/modification, but not necessary for a one-off shop owner mod.

gjh42, thanks for clearing that up. The more I work with zen-cart, the more I start to understand how things are put together. At this point it looks like zen-cart is going to be able to do pretty much all the things I need it to do.
Thanks again! Much appreciated!
