Possible to re-arrange main product page layout via admin?

Hi,

Is it possible to control the layout of the main product page from the admin area, or do you accomplish this via css, or maybe a combination of both?

Here's the page I want rearrange:

http://www.nunnathegluten.com/blueberrymuffin-p-1.html

Basically, I want to have the options/attributes to the right of the image, then the Add to Cart button, then the product text below all of that stuff, similar to this site:

http://www.cowgirlcookieco.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=180

Any ideas? Thanks.

Changes to layout are done by CSS

Here is one good option:
1 install Mozilla firefox( if not already)
2 download and install the firebug add-on
3 right click on any item on your web page you want to change the layout for, and select "inspect element"
4 note the css values
5 go to your stylesheet and edit them.

This is the method I use to discover which CSS selectors control the layout for any given element.:smile:

You will also need to edit
/includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php. Blocks of code are marked off by comments; move blocks around to the order you want them to display, then use the stylesheet for fine tuning.

Much thanks to both of you.

Yeah, Firebug is awesome. Saves me a lot of headache and hassle. Or is that hassle and headache? Eh.

Peace.
