Just wrap
Code:
<vb:comment></vb:comment>
tags around any html in the temlates you do not want to be used.
and for css use
that way you are not removing anything and you can try things out without breaking your theme. When ever I work on a template or css I save all the content to notepad while I am working so I can just put the code back as it was before I started in case of a fubar..

You know, it would only take about hour to just rebuild it from scratch.. It would be easier than trying to sort it out as it is pretty much the base style with the header and some color changes.
Most wont answer about it because of the complexity with styling and the fact that there are several ways to go about modding or creating styles. I do realize your want to learn it and to be able to make it what you want, but it is a very complicated product and it takes years to master. With the right mentor you can get up to speed pretty quickly, but it still takes months of doing to really get your head wrapped around it.
vB4 is obsolete, like many of the other board types, but it can't be helped and has more to do with the changes in how dynamic sites are built these days compared to just a few years ago. Style sheets are being phased out and the styling is being handled within the js now to achieve on the fly style transitions within elements. It's sort of coming full circle.. But that's a whole different subject..
As your a noob, and I like bread, I'll help you out with getting your theme sorted out if you want. Try and teach you a few things as well.. You just need to create an admin account for me so I can get to the backend and work on the theme.
Also there are some awesome people here and once you really get into it you will see what I mean.. So don't be afraid to ask anything. Pretty much every post here gets a response from several of the gurus..
