Hi everyone.
I wanted to ask someone for general help.
I'm trying to figure out how to proceed with my project.
I did layout in photoshop and I can code it in css/html fairly easy, but i'm trying to figure out how to do this in drupal.
I made 3 column layout ( http://alturl.com/keha )and I have photoshop mockup (http://imgur.com/vVrXY.jpg) done.
So now I come to the next step. I wondering if someone can give me general advice and tell me which way to go.
1. I need to figure out how to add static image to the section.(see above mock up)
2. I need to figure out how to populate columns with blocks pulling different content (latest review, featured place, different ads, etc)
You don't have to provide great detail, I know everyone's time is valuable, just point me in the right direction.
I'm fairly new and kind of clueless so I'm looking for general help.
I would really appreciate If you can help me especially if you created something similar and know what you're doing.
Any urls you used for tutorials or lessons would be awesome.
Thank you in advance.
:)

you must first make the .info
you must first make the (your-theme-name).info more detailed at http://drupal.org/theme-guide
???
What do you mean by more detailed? You mean add more regions? Or add more blocks?
Do you know by any chance if I need to put a static header box in the first column, should I just create block and put div and code? Or do I need to create story/content and make it sticky (so it would remain on the page)? http://imgur.com/vVrXY.jpg
There will also be category related stories underneath the static header image, please see above image.
Different stories for each section (is it just different taxanomy?)
Also I need to have second column have different type of content, like review, featured, etc. Do I need to create different content type for each?
Thank you for the link. I'm trying to learn as much as I can, but Drupal is much different than CSS so it's a learning process.
I really appreciate your feedback.
i mean is, if you want to
i mean is, if you want to know basic drupal theming, you should check that links. Especially if you want to add region, such as adding more sidebar, multiple header, etc.
if you are going to make an additional form element, you should add a new content types, e.g if you are going to add an image field, or adding a specific workflow. if the review, featured etc has the exact same content e.g if all of them is using image field, then you don't have to make a new content types, just a new taxonomy.
if you want to add a static header box, you'd better add a block, displaying the corresponding node.
Great
Thank you. I will look into it. I think it's actually working.
