Well, I finally had time to slice and dice the theme graphics. Not having done this before, I struggled with it a bit. I’m not sure I could explain it well but I was able to get what I needed. The author at ThemeTation.com posted a video on slicing graphics. I didn’t realize that it was grainy and had no sound until I tried to watch it. It was of no value so if you’re not comfortable with a tool like Photoshop you’ll need to look elsewhere for help. I had trouble slicing and saving the graphics so I think I’ll practice a bit, look around for some more help and then post a video on slicing and saving graphics from Photoshop CS3. Anyway, here are the sliced graphics I created for this project:

Most web graphics are saved in png or gif format. That’s one of the problems I encountered. Photoshop defaulted to jpg and I had a bit of difficulty saving every slice in png format. I’ll go back and do it before uploading the images to my test site. Also, the author used two images that weren’t included in the design phase. I’ll use his for the test site.
Here’s the home page layout again:
