 * Example of what? Is the link your site? We don’t need a link to know what the
   themes are 🙂

    (If you want to make
   your own – read the Codex: [Theme_Development](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development)

 * Then you will NOT add “your own” theme for a while. Not until you learn how make
   a theme, sorry. There is no other way.

 * thats exactly what im asking!! ive designed something in photoshop that i want
   to use on my site, but i dont know the style sheets for wordpress. ive always
   just coded things for myspace, but not im trying it for wordpress.
 * so im looking for something that has maybe a basic style sheet that i can edit
   to my own layout.

 * I was in the same position, and what I did was study the default theme package
   that is part of WordPress until I understood how to customize it.
 * It’ll take a lot longer if you don’t spend time reading the Codex.
 * Even making the simplest themes requires some familiarity with how it all works.

 * Go here:
    [http://themes.wordpress.net](http://themes.wordpress.net) .. look 
   around. Find a theme that is similar in structure to what you’ve drawn. (2 col.
   left, 2 col. right, 3 col., etc.)
 * Download it. Study it. Implement it. Rome wasn’t built in a day and CSS won’t
   be learned in a day either.

   see and rush into an operating room. Why is web design treated like it’s basically
   nothing? Good web design, good coding, like anything else done well, takes time,
   practice.</rant>
