I'm a newb so go easy on me with this. Can a site like (warning, slow loading ahead) TeamXBOX be coded completely with CSS if it isn't already. I mean the design is just so complicated...

The master template might need to be sliced in a slightly different manner,(a 15 minutes job, if that) but as far as I can tell, most of the images in the layour are just for looks. They can be set as the background of an element, and that element jigged around as needed. For the nav, FIR would work dandy on the images, and again, jigged around to fit.

I see what you are talking about but what about the graphics... just putting the slices together... wouldn't you need tables?

I can see it being done, although it looks to be a long task.

With a few fairly minor modifications, Paul's 4col layout would provide the basics, then the rest is just adding candy.
