Working on templates and styles

I really only think that the thing you will see on every single page is the header and footer. What else do you want to add to display on every page?

Sorry for the late reply, was out of town for a while.

basically I want my site to show my own personal 'header', along with a left side menu, and possible a colum on the right. With my forum in the middle (if I was to have a right colum)

Though I haven't changed any thing yet, I have been going thru the 'Styles and Templates' and looking thru all of them to find the $navbar and $footer, if they are there, those are the ones that I will change. (hoping that is all that is needed for that 'grouping')

But I have a question about some of the catagories like...
Poll Templates
Help Templates

I didn't see any $navbar and $footer, in any of the templates there, would I have to change the poll.php file for this to happen or is it inherited from another template, and if so... which one.

Any help would be great
