im trying to sort out my theme to look like this
www.danielhodkinson.com/meshdesign

and so i want to organise where the content i publish goes to, would it be better to get all my css set up and then make one page with all the div's in the body section? or at the moment i have just published a blog story, can i organise specifically where each individual content type goes, if so how as i have no idea?

thanks
Dan

Everyones workflow is different so I certainly can't tell you the best and only way to build your theme as there is none. For myself I start out with a blank install of drupal and then use the devel module http://drupal.org/project/devel to fill the site up with filler content. I then build the basic css/html theme, test that and then insert all the php. I then mess with it until everything works.

Start with the page.tpl.php file which is the required layout file for your theme. Build the basic stuff in here. If you need to theme certain areas individually then create new layout files as required.

Hope that helps.
