My new Drupal-based web site is almost at Release Candidate 1.0: http://www.momsmedicinechest.com/.
I'm hoping to finalize the theme design this week. I'm stuck on a few items, which I'm hoping the Drupal community can help with! :)
- My original design for the Book-of-the-Month page is here: http://cklester.com/newsite/mmc.php?page=bookofmonth
The current version is here: http://www.momsmedicinechest.com/book_of_the_month
What do I need to do to get my original design implemented in Drupal? Note the float(ed):right Book List and that the content is the currently-selected book review article. I probably just need to know what file to modify (is there a *.tpl.php file I can edit?). Any information will be helpful.
- I want to insert some Google ads (the 234x60 half-banner) into the article lists on the site (for example, http://www.momsmedicinechest.com/moms_home_remedies) (mocked-up functional sample here: http://cklester.com/newsite/mmc.php?articles=babycorner). The Google ads should appear as the 4th through 6th items, then the site content list would continue. Questions? :)
- I'd like to have an Articles page where all site content is listed (like this: http://www.momsmedicinechest.com/articles/), but I need it to be sortable by date, title, and category (right now it's just sorted by date, descending).
Now, I know Drupal makes all this possible... I just need some hints as to where to go from here. :)
THANK YOU!!!

I think maybe 1 and 2 need custom page layouts, which you can do by making your own tpl file. Well, supposedly, I've never done it myself. :)
For 3, perhaps the Views module is best, you can choose to have exposed sorting, but it might not be pretty. I'm sure you could fix it though! :)

Looked Everywhere
I've looked everywhere on theming the views. I just found the Views Theming Wizard, but pasting the output from that into my template.php causes nothing to show up in the view list area. I'm looking closer as to why, but I'd really like some guru help here so I can finish this site and get content added by my authors.
How do I make and utilize a *.tpl.php file?
I wasn't able to figure out how to allow users to sort using the various methods. Help! :)
Thanks!
I've never made a tpl file,
I've never made a tpl file, but there are some examples here: http://drupal.org/node/46012
Views is a relatively new module, so perhaps there isn't much to be found.
I think you can allow user sort by exposing a filter, and then setting the options in the Exposed filter section?

Thanks Anisa!
Thanks for the help. :) I'll look into all that stuff.
So many web sites to build, so little time. :/
Added: Hey, those pages gave me some good ideas! Thank you! :)
