Themes and Theming

Heya gang!

So Calvaryaustin.org is going to be moving off of CMS made easy. not including their fron page the entire site is in flash and iframes.
It was really done poorly. I have been tasked with migrating to Drupal! I am so new to drupal and really could use some help.

For instance the front page is pade up of a header main body and three unique graphics that change out.

Not sure how I would template this correctly in drupal.
If you have a suggestion take a look at www.calvaryaustin.org and give me some advice.

I am posting this here in hopes that someone else has worked with Todd's BareBones theme and can provide some insight into my issue.. I've got a background-image on the footer that looks fine in FF, but the footer itself is shifted left ~24px (or a couple em's?) in IE6. I think it works fine in IE7 but haven't yet tested there.

The site underway:
dev.luigispatioristorante.com
(preferred not to be linked.. keeps the crawlers away)

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

I'm passing this along because I think it's helpful to the Drupal community and I believe all Drupal groups could benefit from it. A while back, I came across get copies of books to share as provided by greggles (thanks Greg Knaddison!) and decided to sign up the Austin Drupal Users Group with Apress as an "Apress User Group".

This week, I received a letter from Apress asking me to "remind your members of their exclusive Apress User Group Program discount of 25% off ALL Apress books!" I scanned the letter which you can view in the attached PDF file. In addition, I've attached Apress' free chapter on theming, Chapter 8, "The Theme System", as a PDF file. You should see it below under "File attachments". It's 875 KB and you'll need Adobe Acrobat to read it.

I've packaged and uploaded the three themes we discussed at recent meetings (Nirvana, Nirvana Skeleton, and Barebones): files.fourkitchens.com/drupal.

IMPORTANT: These are unofficial, marginally untested, alpha releases! Official versions of the themes will be uploaded to Drupal's CVS when we're completely happy with them. Your mileage may vary!
