I want to make my page look similar to the b2 homepage (the one with the upside-down face)
I would like an image at top and two columns below it
Like the b2 page I would like the left to be the recent blogs
And on the right I would like to put links (graphic) to the categories and even an image gallery…

So in other words I would like to add extra text and graphics to the right… but designed to look similar to the b2 homepage

I downloaded wordpress and it takes up the whole screen… where do I start?
And why do I have wordpress when I click the b2 download link?

Because b2 is "dead".
You can get it from http://sigg3.net/cafelog , but WordPress is recommended to new users.

Here's what you do (in both cases):

Make dah template. Use semantic html styling, like this (very simplified):

Code:
<html>
<div id="introtext">
intro text goes here. e.g. <? php_bloginfo ("description"); ?>
</div>

<div id="blogbkg">

start b2-loop
<div class="posts">
main b2 engine
</div>
end b2-loop

</div>

<div id="right-bar">
right-bar contents
</div>
</html>


Then you just style it with your CSS code:) -> http://www.westciv.com / http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp
Simple, elegant, brilliant.

If you want to make it XHTML1.0 Strict valid, you need to edit some of the quicktags, but since you seem like a new users I wouldn't recommend fooling around with the code too much.
