sorry i ment what kinda of php knowledge you have, ie if i said tr or cellpadding, would you understand ?

[Yado]

table row tag :D
cellpadding is an attribute of the table tag that that's states how much space between the ceeledge and the objects in side are. And neither are php they're html. I have a good knowledge of php,html and css so yeh :D

Ok first of here some codeing we are using for our new skin, maybe take a look at this and see where we have added the images codes for the template, this is from the ACP Home -> Template Control Home -> IB-X -> skin_boards -> CatHeader_Expanded

So you can see how the images are inplace for the index page.

I not sure how much i can help you to be honest as we are still learning alot ourself and most of our work has been trial and error.
