Easy mate,

Appreciate the feedback Very tired and crazy so will answer a few of your questions atm. Banner Zest Pro is a must purchase for anyone, especially with the SDK coming and people making their own themes. If you can afford it, very much worth the money! I will post up the code were i pasted the banner zest/banner code when i have a tad more time but its actually quite simple (as most these things are when you know how). For the plugin i use its Shadowbox JS Wordpress Plugin | Sivel.net Shadowbox is amazing and very easy though i am holding back on allot of stuff at the mo in waiting for 2.0 to be released.

Not sure what pictures you mean mate?

To remove the sidebar and stretch the content i simply followed the tutorial found on this forum here How to Remove the 3rd Sidebar & Stretch Content really works, just follow the instructions exact.

Ive also done things like removed the main thumbnails on the front page layout as it really messed with the structure when adding videos etc. Ive also changed allot of the style.css/style of the page because the standard was not to my liking at all. Plus loads of other lil tweaks here and there.

Be back soon to answer anymore.
