If you are familiar with HTML, then you can cut and paste the entire tpl code into dreamweaver (or other wysiwyg editor) and you can see the general layout of where everything is placed. Open a new html file, switch to "code view" locate the <body> </body> tags and paste between them. Now you can switch to "design view" to see the general layout.
You won't view the actual page or any of the CSS edits, but you will see where you need to place the code. Be careful not to break any other code when you place the smarty tag, and use the "code view" to place the tag.
Remember to only copy your tpl code when pasting back into your tpl file. Also Dreamweaver has a nasty habit of adding extra spaces and hard returns. You'll want get rid of any "tabbing" dreamweaver does.
