How difficult to integrate PhPLD with look of current site?

[agbates]

Hello Everyone,

I'm researching link scripts for my site. I have a big navigation bar on the left and AdSense on the top and to the right. How difficult is it to edit the template so that I can fit the content in and still maintain the look of my site? Here is the page I will be working on:

As you can see, the central area that I have my content on is somewhat narrow. How easy is it to play with the formatting of PhpLD?

Thanks..

Yes, it uses the Smarty template system, which means you are mostly just editing the html, so if you have the time to edit the html in the templates, that is all that is really required. Some people catch on faster than others, but we will try to help you if you have trouble.
Thanks,

it hardly matters , since as i have been finding out , as long as u keep including the main files , it doesnt matter what u put in for design .

I tried seeing what was involved in customizing the appearance of Smarty by looking at the Smarty site here:

http://smarty.php.net

Doesn't really go into it that much. Any chance I could see a file of what I would have to edit? I use Dreamweaver for editing my site. Would I be able to use this to edit and view my chnages so I can tweak the end result?

Sure, here is a copy of header.tpl (one of about 3 files you will have to update). You will leave the items in the bracket alone, and just edit the html that you recognize:

(It may look intimidating at first, but honestly, you only have to edit the html)
