home page customization

How can I adjust the layout of the main homepage? I don't which file to access. Currently, my text is overlaying my images. Why is that? I couldn't do that if I tried! http://inlinefilms.com/store/

And I would like to have some cell spacing so my images are not butting up against the borders.

Re: home page customization

But there's no spacing. The text is right up against the images and the borders! You're right about the logo banner thought--totally.

Re: home page customization

Marcus,
It's not a good idea to hard-code styles in a file. That's what the stylesheet is for that similar to Lackew's suggestion.
Also, watch what you edit with. There are a lot of empty spans (17) on the home page.
You might also want to add a warning about content when posting here.
