Step 4Install a Theme (the visual design, "look and feel")
http://drupal.org/project/Themes
Themes allow you to change the look and feel of your Drupal site.
*You will need an FTP/HTML EDITOR, such as Dreamweaver or NVU to upload and install Themes
There are a number of opensource themes for download and installation for your Drupal site. Some are CSS standards-based designs (best) and others are not. Feel free to review the screenshots, download many and enable them for your site.
CollectiveResolve currently (04/17/07) uses the Amadou theme, which will either be fully redesigned or greatly altered soon.
Theme Installation
1. Themes can be downloaded here: http://drupal.org/project/Themes
2. FTP/HMTL EDITOR: Unzip and save the theme folder in your Drupal site under: Yoursite/themes/. Once you save it in that folder it is then registered by your Drupal site and available for enabling its availability.
3. DRUPAL SITE: Administer the themes here: Administer > Site Building: Themes
4. Select "Enabled" for sitewide access and potential user choice of theme and "Default" for the sitewide default theme.
5. CollectiveResolve uses only one enabled and default theme to avoid formatting issues and incompatibilities.
6. FTP/HMTL EDITOR: Feel free to make a backup copy of the theme's CSS file in its directory and then customize the CSS style and design - get started with CSS - from there.

A lot of Drupal themes (both drupal 4.7 themes and drupal 5 themes) can be seen "in action" (on live drupal) at Drupal Theme Garden
