Yes, that's true and I'm trying not to let it influence me if I can help it.

lol! :)

I've had a look through the two examples you gave me and they both use
tables.  But as you say, I'm sure there are many Xoops themes that do
not.

I'm going to stick with Drupal for now and give that a go I think.
Perhaps there's nothing to call it betweel it and Xoops, but I've
gotta pick one so I'll try that for now.  After actually having a go
at setting up a CMS I'll be more aware of what I need out of one and
in the future I can perhaps try Xoops and compare them.

Thanks for all your help!

As an aside, when you reply to this list it'd be helpful if you could
keep the subject lines the same.  I guess you're not in a threaded
view in your e-mail client, but for those of use who are changing the
sujbect lines makes the conversation disjointed.  Thank you!

Steve :)
