I downloaded this SWEET template to my website which I’m running the CMS Joomla. Check out the template on my website: http://sowhatdesigns.com. Well I want to edit some of the main pictures such as the header that says "art color club" or whatever. Does anyone know how to edit pictures like that from Joomla?!
it is a bit tricky, you will have to open the zip file on your desktop and then find the file that you want to replace. Replace that file with what you want to use and make sure you give it the same name. Upload upload that file to your site using any FTP software when asked if you want to replace the file say yes. Thats it I do this all the time as a matter of fact it my next project!
I am making an online portal for a non-profit non-governmental network of libraries in Honduras. They want the teenagers to have their own area on the site and they want it to have somewhat of a different style that is more appealing to their age group. However, design-wise, I don`t want to make it too different, because it needs to look like it is the same site. I think I will start with the same template as the rest of the site and just modify it a little bit, maybe adding more pictures or brighter colors but keeping the layout the same. Is it possible to have two different joomla! templates for the same site?
Yes, you can have multiple templates per site.
It doesn’t matter what templates you use, so long as they share common module position names for modules that you want to use with both templates.
Make one template the default (probably the one that will be used on the most pages), and assign other templates to specific menu items. Both functions are performed in the Template Manager. It’s under the Site menu in Joomla 1.0 and the Extensions menu in 1.5.
Where can I get professional looking Joomla Templates, for free? I dont mind having a ‘Joomla’ text button, nothing big/flashy.
I am going for a gaming theme site, so.
And also, where’s a good place to find free add-ons like members can RSVP for a party and have their name show up as attending.
There are hundreds out there if you Google "Joomla Templates free" but beware as a badly designed template can reduce usability and speed – and cool! In technical terms I would recommend using WC3 compliant xhtml / css based templates.
In terms of where to get them, try this site:

and check out this one:

as recommend her these guys.

Compass Designs is also great for learning the inside story on templates:

as is Rocket Theme:

The place to start with plugins is of course Joomla’s own site:
http://extensions.joomla.org
There is the essential component Community Builder which will reinforce the management of members:

And I would guess that one of the Reservations plugins might achieve the party invite system you are looking for. Just download, install and test out a few and see which gives you the best options.
