While I am sure this has been asked over and over I can not find something which acts like a tutorial for customizing the graphics of a site. My current site is www.vizdepot.com and my new vbportal site is www.vizdepot.com/index.php for now until it goes public. Trying to emulate the older style but I feel so crutched with where the customization takes place. Is it 1 file or 20? Is it html like tables or in some other php or css format. I simply dont know. I am quite literate in html format but the organization of php is simply foriegn to me. As you can see im I newbie to the vbulletin and vbportal. If you can share a brief second of your experience in customizing a site, I would certainly appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Steven D. Papke

Like a perfect example of insight I am after...is where the heck are the meta tags for the site stored? Since this is php are there even meta tags?

Im looking for someone with some patience to educate me.

vBulletin has a admin control panel from which every aspect of the site layout / design / options / forums / users are controlled.

yoururl.com/forum/admincp/

Once logged in there, goto the style and template manager and search for the header / footer styles and the header include styles (templates).

vBPortal support can't be provided, for that, we direct you to their support forums.
