Hey!

I'm really new to Drupal, but excited for the possibilities that it is going to give my site!!! The design is really complicated: and I'm used to coding using absolute positioning... I don't have any php experience at all. (See my current site: www.CandiceJarrett.com - which I had some help with btw)

I have this design where I want to make the nav part of the header and use either flash or spry to make the nav and the header do some cool animations relative to eachother. Here's a screenshot of what the new site will look like:

How do I make the header float center and appear at the top of the page like that while simultaneously getting rid of the dynamic nav associated with drupal only on the user end... (keeping the nav in the admin panel).

Besides the header/nav problem... I was looking to use some kind of rotator for the featured fan photo... so that it selects from a few jpegs that I preselect. I'm going to go through the tutorials here with a fine tooth comb and hope that I can make this design a reality while still using drupal. If anyone here can give me advice about any part of it... especially the header... I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Cheers!

Candice

PS. I'm using drupal 5.6 - and am using www.CandiceJarrett.net as a testbed if you want to see how far I've gotten. Thanks again!!!!! :-)
