Just so you realize how simple it is with expression engine, here is the code for the ffs-12-09 page attached previous post. All I do for each “bit” is have a separate include for it, and that would have the tags on it for sticking it into the page :

{assign_variable:my_weblog="catblog|news|faqs|books|quotes"}

	{assign_variable:my_template_group="site"}

	{assign_variable:gallery_name="gallery"}

	

	<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

	<html >

	

	<head>

	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset={charset}" />

	

	<title>{exp:weblog:category_heading }{category_name}{/exp:weblog:category_heading}</title>

	<meta name="description" content={exp:weblog:category_heading}"{meta}"{/exp:weblog:category_heading} />

	

	{embed=bits/icon}

	<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' media='all' href='{stylesheet=styles/ffs}' />

	<style type='text/css' media='screen'>@import "{stylesheet=styles/ffs}";</style>

	

	[removed][removed]

	<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="{path={my_template_group}/rss_2.0}" />

	<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom" href="{path={my_template_group}/atom}" />

	

	</head>

	

	<body>

	

	<div class="container">

	

	<!--HEADER-->

	{embed=bits/mast}

	{embed=bits/nav}

	<!-- END HEADER -->

	

	<!--MAIN CONTENT-->

	

	<div id="main">

	

	<div class="colFifth">

	{embed=bits/books}

	</div> <!--end colFifth -->

	  

	

	<div class="colThreeFifth" >

	  <div class="content">

	

	<!-- For content, there would be a series of conditional statements like so  -->

	

	{if segment_3=="lpp_experiment"} {embed=cat/lpp_experiment}{/if}

	{if segment_3=="aneutronic"} {embed=cat/aneutronic}{/if}

	{if segment_3=="environment"} {embed=cat/environment}{/if}

	{if segment_3=="fusion_race"} {embed=cat/fusion_race}{/if}

	

	<!-- you get the idea -->

	

	 </div> <!--end content -->

	</div> <!-- end colThreeFifth -->

	

	

	<div class="colFifthMin">

	{embed=bits/fund}

	{embed=bits/twitter}

	{embed=bits/register}

	</div> <!-- end colFifthMin -->

	

	</div> <!-- end of main div -->

	

	         <br class="clearBoth"/> <!--because of floating columns -->

	

	<!--END OF MAIN CONTENT-->

	

	{embed=bits/footer}

	

	</div><!--end containter-->

	

	<!-- deleted ten lines of google analytics script here -->

	

	

	</body>

	</html>

So…by all means, give it to me as css and html. The css would go into, say “styles/footer” and the html into “bits/footer”, and they’d be called in with the embeds.
