So what does a guy like me do who knows nothing of all thsi coding stuff?
You have several possible options:
a) Learn how to do it yourself.
b) Find somebody else that will do it for you.
c) Find another theme that does what you want already.
d) Ask the designer of the theme to do it for you.
e) Find a plugin that does what you want.
f) Find a plugin author to do it for you.
These are variations on a theme, of course. The gist of it is that you can either learn how to do it yourself, or you can have somebody else do it. I’m perfectly willing to answer questions if you want to learn how to do it yourself, but the questions need to be rather specific for me to understand what it is that you actually want to do.
If you want somebody to do it for you, then there’s the wp-pro mailing list, where you might be able to find somebody who can do that.
