   [About/costum intergration] Information for Coders
This piece is written for people who wand to intergrate ESPG in there theme.
No step by step search and replace but just a simple story about how i did it. To give you inspiration to do it your self.

The footer and header files are made/copied from the index.template.php file. The functions  template_main_above() and template_main_below() to be more precise.
The head, body and title are removed from the original header. The content that was in the head section is pasted in the head of the copied template_main_below. And the remaining content is pasted below the copied template_main_below code.
The same style of changing things has been done in the footer.
The css was altered to make it look like NTD. Some parts of it where added to the header.
