…before I start developing my own theme

    I have been using FrontPage for my Blog.

    I am moving to WordPress 2.0.2.

    Does anyone know if there exists a WordPress theme that will give me the appearance of my site as it currently is : https://www.coletti.co.uk

    I have scoured the links and can find no theme so far that gives me the classic sidebar on the left and photo top-left.

    1. Please, forget the FrontPage from now on…
    2. That’s a very simple 3 column design (btw, it has horizontal scrolling in FF), just find a good stable 3 column and get rid of the colours.
    e.g. Vesuvius > https://www.transycan.net/blogtest/download-themes/
    3. https://themes.wordpress.net
    Don’t look for “exact” match – just for the basic layout. Everything else (like photo here and there) can be modified.
    As I see it you have sidebarleft+content+sidebarright (=poll)… so look for 3 column if you want the same.

    Moshu,
    thank you for your reply. In the end I went for Gila. I tried Vesuvius but I kind of liked the look of Gila better.

    However, can you tell me where images should go ?

    I am trying to change the header of Gila and have upload a file called personalheader.jpg to my /wp-content/images/
    directory. It didn’t get picked up so I copied the file to my /wp-content/themes/gila/images/ directory and it still didn’t get picked up.

    Here is the code for header.php that I am using. Note that the anchor works . . it’s just the image which is not displayed.

    <!-- ##### Header ##### -->
    <div id="header"><br />
    <h1 class="headerTitle"><br />
    <a>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a><br />
    </h1><br />
    <div style="padding-left: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; font-size: 138%; color: #eee; font-weight: bold;" ><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div><br />
    <div class="subHeader"><br />
    <span class="doNotDisplay">Navigation: </span><br />
    <?php if ( function_exists('wp_admin_bar') ) wp_admin_bar(); ?><br />
    <a>>>" target="_blank" href="https://www.myspace.com/paulcoletti"><img border="0" src="../images/personalheader.jpg" width="182" height="125"></a><br />
    </div><br />
    </div><br />
    <!-- End Header -->
