I`ve found it relatively easy to customize IPB templates, however my first impressions are the vbulletin is more daunting. Am I correct? !!!

Anyways, I have the bog standar default vbulletin installed.

I`m looking to customize the theme so that it blends with my css/xhtml website.

With my old IPF forum, I simply cut up the index page from our website so that I had header and the opening div container at the top of the board, then the close div and footer at the board. Basically a wrapper.

I assume doing the same kind of thing is easy with vbulletin but I`m just not sure where to start. Can someone offer some advice here, thanks.

Can I install another vbulletin on a test domain, so that I can play around with the template/skinning setup without hindering my live board?
