Correct, Joomla uses php but also some javascript. It depends on what you download templete wise. And you can create your own templetes. Is it easy? Well, that is difficult to say since Im not you but, I think its just as easy to create exactly what I need instead of putting up with having too much of what I dont need so... Download Joomla and take a look at their code. You'll know pretty quick if you feel you can edit it or not. Wade
