I did it (I think)
Well, that didn't take as long as I suspected. I got my new layout basically done. If it looks a little bit repulsive right now, well just hang on and give me another day or two to fix up my CSS.
This is a nice little template I got from oswd.org. It's called "2nd encounter." I liked it, so I tried my luck at Smarty code and converted it into a LifeType template. You can comment and let me know what you think of it. I'm liking this better already. The old one used tables and ugly stuff like that. This design is big on CSS.
[EDIT]
I've noticed that I've received some traffic from search engines from people searching for a lifetype template. If you really like this one, post here and I can try to zip it up for you.
