Shame, as I'm struggling with my first attempt.

I hate to say this, but the template system for VB has to be the worse I have ever seen. It's almost impossible to make sense of it, because of the shear amount of files. I still haven't been able to figure out quite a bit of it, and am just running around in circles wasting a lot of time experimenting, trying to get a simple design to work properly the way I want it to look.

Needless to say, a guide that explains what each template does would help, as after attempting my own code, I now can understand why there's a lot more styles for other forums out there than VB. Jeez, why couldn't they have made this simplier?

Hopefully, you can resume work, and do up a guide, especially for the graphic end. I'm having a lot of problems trying to find where to put the code to add a image to the bottom of the home and category listing pages, though the postbit is fine, as it's all on one template.
