Default AAAHHHH I've gone stupid again!

I can not for the life of me find the template to change my main center image on my front page!
I'm looking at my firebug but I just don't see where it goes! I can see the link but can't find the template.. Also I've forgotten how to make it a clickable link, more importantly a image map!

Anyone?? please?? be your bestest friend forever!

Use webmaster mode to tell you what template. Most likely it is customer/main/welcome.tpl. If you want to make an image map, your best bet is an html editor like Dreamweaver.

Yeah the customer/main/welcome! that's were I've always looked but now I've got nothing!

I look in webmaster mode, I've used firebug, I've wept and begged and I've threatened the site with violence. Nada!
This is what I got

{if $display_greet_visitor_name}
<h1>{$lng.lbl_welcome_back|substitute:"name":$disp lay_greet_visitor_name} </h1>
{elseif $lng.lbl_site_title}
<h1>{$lng.lbl_welcome_to|substitute:"company":$lng .lbl_site_title|amp}</h1>
{else}
<h1>{$lng.lbl_welcome_to|substitute:"company":$con fig.Company.company_name|amp}</h1>
{/if}
{$lng.txt_welcome}<br />
{if $active_modules.Bestsellers and $config.Bestsellers.bestsellers_menu ne "Y"}
{include file="modules/Bestsellers/bestsellers.tpl"}<br />
{/if}
{include file="customer/main/featured.tpl"}


What do you think??
Help me obi wan!

Ok, please update your sig first - and then you need to edit the welcome.tpl that is in the skin template you used. For example, if you are using the 2 column Light and Lucid, it would be skin/2-columns/customer/main/welcome.tpl

okay I've updated the signature oops..
but not to be a complete tard, where or what do I put in there?
I wish I could see what was in my old version I just cut and pasted after abit and that bit of knowledge has fallen out of my head

I used the webmaster mode to change the picture via that but the image map doesn't work

Tough to tell without seeing the code - post what you are using.

Hell I'm just making a bigger mess of things. Seriously, I'm not this stupid, I just can't find the places that were in the far inferior 4.3.

So I have been in webmaster mode, and I clicked on the main picture and it pulled up the edit label pop up and i'm putting in this code

<p><img id="center-main" style="margin-left: 187px; margin-right: 187px;" usemap="#center-mainMap" src="/images/nov2010.jpg" alt="November2010" />
<map id="center-mainMap" name="center-mainMap">
<area shape="rect" coords="3,3,769,86" href="#" target="_blank" />
<area shape="rect" coords="570,135,767,609" href="#" />
</map>
</p>

It's just frustrating the hell out me because I know the answer, I just can't seem to spit it out and I am under the thumb so to speak
