Anyway, as it happens, I too, am converting a modified template gotten from templatemonster. I'm using SiteGrinder, and so far everything has gone fairly smoothly - I even added a SiteGrinder form (though it's not hooked up yet). The thing I hated about this Photoshop file is it consisted of hundreds and hundreds of tiny layers, each named "Bitmap". For example, there was this shaded dotted line thingy - each dot and each shadow were their own layer. Took awhile to clean up that part of the file. But now things are flying. Here's my work so far: http://www.medialab.com/PWMenus/1homesgready3490/1homesgready3490/1homesgready3.html
