"1) The firebug plugin for firefox can be equated to finding out how to travel faster than light. AKA, its epic and you need it."

I'm familiar with firebug but other then mousing over divs to see which each div does and then referring to the templates what can I use firebug for?

" 3) Keep debugging console active while developing."
I've got the debugging console open but I see files like head_admin.tpl instead of just head.tpl4) When you can't figure out which template you're needing to edit, turn on webmaster mode and then highlight the .tpl names in the debug window and then the content inside that template will "pop"

I noticed in webmaster mode you can click on text and replace it with things but you can't actually delete the text but haven't found to much use for it yet.

I've read the smarty crashcourse and most of that makes sense but I'm not 100% how it relates to the .tpl I believe you but I'm having a difficult time relating it to the .tpl files.

I understand these files in the head.tpl

{include file="customer/tabs.tpl"}

{include file="customer/phones.tpl"}

control part of the skin1 where the buttons are in the top right and the phone #'s but I'm having a difficult time understanding how to modify that data or remove it completely obviously I could just remove those lines but I want to make sure I do it properly.


Thanks for any help you've been really helpful in getting me started!!
