Thats the one Im talking about, something like this.. I wanted my website to end up like this.

but unfortunately, I really cant cope up with your instructions, Im not much of a coder, actually im just a beginner. so a little guide from you will be so much appreciated.
Can I ask for the ready made template so that it would be more easier for me to upload on my host?

Ah ok, no worries.

To get it to look like that with the current template is all in the Joomla admin control panel, frontpage component settings.

To change these settings, log into admin cp back end, go to menu -> main menu -> click on the home link.

From here you can set 1 column, no intro, and how many full width posts you want to see on your frontpage.

hmm what if I wanted a static width of 790px ?
i've spent a few hours trying to get a logo to look proper ie not scattered to the left of screen but appearntly i'm missing something in the css file.

Hi. The logo and it's parent div logo-wrap are floated to the left.

To center the logo you can try changing the width and alignment of the logo-wrap div to something like this.

QUOTE:


#logo-wrap {
width: 790px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align:center;
padding: 0 ;
}

If you wanted to have the whole template at a fixed width of 790px it probably wont work very well, the content area and columns will probably start to overlap each other.. I designed it with a minumum screen resolution of at least 1024 x 768 in mind.

If you left out one of the side columns, don't publish any modules there, it may be ok though.

thanks got it.

na not the hole page, just the logo part lol didn't like having the logo on the left side by itself (i have a 22 inch monitor )

Ok so I'm somewhat new to Joomla, but familiar enough to start poking my nose in code to move things around. My question is, this template is set to, what it seems anyways, to be centered so that when ever the page increases in resolution, it centers itself on the page (left column - main body - right column) What I want to do is mat it so it's static sitting at the left side of the page, and when the resolution changes, it's still at the left, not centered.....Make sense? Basically I want the Main Menu to sit all the way left always.

Thanks in advance for the help.
