Fireworks exports an html file the code of which you can edit to add template fields in the spots of your new layout where you want them; i.e. wiki-replaced comments like <!--wiki:$Group.PageTopMenu $SiteGroup.PageTopMenu--> or <!--markup:(:if enabled FontSizer:)(:fontsizer:)(:if:)--> and especially <!--PageText--> :)
You have to keep an eye on the amount of content that is to go in each spot; if the space allowed in the design is too small, the page content will break the carefully pieced together layout. In some instances, you'll want to replace some slices with a smaller gif image and put it in the cell or layer background with a css repeat attribute either horizontally or vertically; that way if the content grows or shrinks, the layout will be preserved as designed. Rename that file with a .tmpl extension and place it with any css and images in a /pub/skins/newname folder, where newname is the name you choose for your skin. However, if you want to use the triad skin, that already has a tmpl file. Compare the triad.tmpl with newname.tmpl and try to use the same css classes, javascripts, layers and file structure to integrate the new layout into the triad one. >From my previous experience, the integration will be really tough (I worked with the Gemini skin), because it's not easy to get Firefox to generate a plain layout table: it adds lots of extra cells (and slices) to help control the layout. If you have Dreamweaver, it may help a bit.
