@ BlueDevil, I like your master piece handwork here, such a nice blog/smf powered http://www.chevyavalancheclub.com/. Actually I have been looking for a way to start my blogging website but low skill/know skill at all would never allow me to until I stumble upon that link above. From A-Z modding of that website, I simply love everything more especially the "pause and play" picture display powered by JavaScript.
I just want to start my SMF blog-like website from the scratch to capture what you have there with mine totally taking a different NICHE. I will like to pay for the service (themes and others) otherwise please please please you will take me along on every bit of steps as I embark on this wonderful journey. I am a lover of SMF but I never knew smf has such a remarkable software teaks, you are a coding genius to the core. Hope you will help. Thank you.

Thank Don for the kind words. Really everything ive done to my forums is 'trial & error'. Usually i use an original theme in my test site and tinker there before i make the edits to my live site. That way i dont break the website.
Im not good at coding or designing. I am good at modding existing mods to my own likings and i surf the web looking for websites to see how they've done theirs. I also read a lot here in SMF and search google a lot.
The code provided above is straight forward. On that note im not for hire but i can help you or anyone.
The slider you saw on my front page is a paid slider for Joomla and any PHP based sites.

I appreciate your support so much as that poster has saie. I run a small forum only here www.appiiforum.com and I have so much passion for blogging but I don't have the web-skill for blogging templates like wordpress to tweak things the way I desire. But after taking a close look at www.bluedevilcustoms.com, www.chevyavalancheclub.com, it is proper I saw the need for me to stick to SMF while having the front page turn into blog. Hopefully let me see how things work out when I install those mods. Thanks
