Chapter 4: Basics II: Adding Functionality

With the general configuration tasks behind us, I am sure you are more than keen to begin working on the layout and functionality for the site. That's not to say we are going to discuss the type of layout that involves themes just yet, because there is plenty of work to be done deciding what goes where before we look at things like fonts, colors, and images. While we aren't working with anything as exciting as new images or flashy graphics, you will find that much of what we cover in this section is a matter of taste, and you can get fairly creative.
