Hello,
I am a new drupal enthusiast, and have just started to learn drupal by my own since 3 weeks ago (very amateur!). I have worked on my own community drupal site on localhost, and now playing with how to make a nice looking article/news content type. I wanted to make the lay-out of the article/news content something like this:

http://www.edutopia.org/how-create-web-site-thats-learning-community-0

Can anybody share a light to me, how to design such a nice lay-out? Can we set it from a particular drupal modules? Or is it a design work (CSS) from dreamweaver?

Many thanks in advance..!

Although that site is using CCK, most of what you see appears to be a custom theme. Why not contact them and see if they're willing to share?

You want to plan. Planning is everything, and once you get that plan ... do noy deviate from it.

So, on a peice of paper write out all the information you want to appear on your teaser, and on full node view.

Then, browse through some CSS galleries to look for inspiration.

When you know exactly how you want your content type to look... download the contemplate module and apply css to your content type. Or if you are comfortable with CSS,PHP create your own node-type.tpl.php file and theme away! "(or hire someone)
