  hello, first time I attempt to modify a theme, and I wouldn't mess up everything...
  
  My intention is to enlarge a bit the voodoodolly right and center column, and shrinking (or even removing) the right column... what are the files I have to work with?
  
  another thing:
  If I want to remove, or modify the unneeded (for me) additional infos that appear in the news page, is tweaking them directly in the templates the only way to go?
  
  thank you in advance
  Enrico

  Hi Enrico!

  You can resize the columns through the theme styles:
  .left_column width at /themes/voodoodolly/style/style.css (line 87)
  .center_column margins (line 98)
  
  Check the /themes/voodoodolly/templates/master.htm and /themes/voodoodolly/templates/modules/home.htm to remove the box_right container. If you remove the right column you can stretch the left and center columns like:
  
  .left_column width to 200px
  .center_column margin = 0 0 0 215px
  
  There you go! just play with the styles

  sure, News templates are the ones to modify.
  You can copy the *.htm files at /modules/News/pntemplates folder into your theme (/theme/voodoodolly/templates/modules/News folder) to customize them, and override the original ones from your theme. It's the upgrade-safe path
  
  Good luck with that
