When making a template page, there is a drop down to select a css. Since there is only one choice, are there other styles sheets not available to a user which cascade with the selected style sheet.
Also I would like to change the layout of the header, body, and footer, for a page. Can I do these completely with a css or is the layout controlled by php or other means?
Much appreciate advise.
Cheers,
John

create your own css style sheets

Layout of the header etc can be controlled in the Designer. But depending on what you want, you may need custom css or to use phplugins. It all depends on what you're after.

Rod,
Thanks, here is a link to my current home page: www.johnthackerphoto.com
I would like the style of the header, with my name and navigation on the same line. Also the footer a bit smaller than default but the footer also includes a link to send me an email. The navigation includes the home page and two gallery pages, one named Portfolios the other named Projects. You already told me how to put a single image on the home page, which I thank you for.
Your thoughts?
Cheers,
John

What exactly about the header do you want to change? Your name and the navigation are on the same line right now.
by "the footer a bit smaller" what do you mean? It looks pretty small right now.
You can add your email link in the same field as the Copyright if you want it all on one line.
Otherwise, you could use phplugins to replace the footer with your own code.

Rod,
I want to change the header in Backlight to look like my current website. Is that possible with just css?

I don't see a way to easily do what you want in the current version of Backlight. But just wait a little bit. The next version is in Beta and you can have your masthead and navigation on the same line then. Should be soon.
