Okay, so a couple of you were asking about what I did for teh site to make it so spiffy (*bows*) and here is where I'll answer all the questions. I won't be giving out my headers/footers or anything, but if you have questions about graphics and systems here then I'd be glad to help you!

I don't really want your exact headers and footers, but I think it's sooo cool how you have the footer arranged. How do you do that?

You just put the code for each thing in the order you want it to be in, as far as I know. ^^ If you meant the coding for the actual stuff in the footers, I can't help you there. x3
I'm kind of wary of templates - I nearly killed a site because of one, though that's another story - but is there a way to make a cool-looking skin that isn't as fragile a template? -is not good at this sort of stuff-

Yes, as Darkeh said, I can give you the codes for that no prob, but I would prefer if your footers weren't identical to mine. I'll give you the code for any object there you'd like, though.
I tried a template for my site when I first started it--it lasted about a day before I realized that I'm just no good at copying a starter kit, and then I realized I'd probably be a better admin if I knew exactly what was in my footers. 
Darkeh, do you mean the images/colors or the actual layout of the tables on the page?

I'm not really sure, but more the actual layout, as I think/hope I can do the color thing... xP

*does inventory check* Well, this is the major stuff I've got for customization in my globals:
- CSS def: Universal background layout (centered, no repeats) - CSS def: Skin-specific styles for Catagories, Titles, Links, background, various other stuff... - logo center - welcome table - skin-specific (C) table (new) - I made this on my own and I'm rather proud of it...  - forum resize - category divider - catagory and title reorder - affiliates/Cbox - WoF
Any of these sound interesting?

Both the Universal background layout and the stuff for Catagories/Titles/Links/background/etc. sound interesting, I think...

For the universal BG layout I've just said that regardless of the skin I want the background to be centered on all fronts, with no repeats. It works for this site because I either use a huge image bg, no image bg, or a stripe down the middle with white underneath.
For the skin-specific stuff, which is useful for me because I've started keeping my skins, depending on skin the person is viewing the CSS styles you define in this code will change. The problem with having images instead of colors in your catagories is that they stay the same no matter what skin the user is viewing, which is something I'm sure you've noticed if you've tried running a multi-skin site. So this code enables an automatic skin-switchout. It takes updating every time you switch the default skin, but it's worth it.
Would you like either?

Oakstar, would you mind telling me the code for your headers/footers, so I can edit it? I promise that I'll put up a banner on any site I use it on saying "Made by Oakstar, Edited by Silver" with a link to this site.

I won't give out my entire footers--you'll have to pick and choose from the list above, sorry. but with very small exceptions, that list of codes is almost entirely what comprises my globals. The other part is that I have some nice images to plug into the mix...

Here's the code I use for the table. You can edit the red stuff, and the sizes, or anything you think you'd like to change!

Ooh! Can I use that too, please? I'm having a lot of trouble trying to figure out how to make one from scratch. :/ I checked out a book from the library, but it isn't helping much.
