Can anyone point me in the right direction for a way to make Mambo/Joomla themes? It seems a bit confusing to me... Thanks.

Its quite easy actually.

Just design a site as you normally would, but while using CSS keep in mind the classes and ids that Joomla generates by default.

If you know PHP, you can edit the com_content (components) and the joomla.php (includes) to generate content like you want it, i can tell you fron expirience that editing the core files is a pain, but once you're done, everything's looking better

Then after you create the general template, for the main body section, place this in your template
and for the other module positions just place this code:

And you can add your own custom module positions by going to:
Site >> Template Manager >> Module positions

Just play around with the original template and you'll figure it out soon

Hope this helped!
