I've been theming with Drupal for over a week since my first attempt at porting the Cutline theme to Drupal 6. The first attempt was using Bluebreeze to prt the Cutline theme from Wordpress but now I find Hunchbaque theme much more for suitable to building entirely new themes and porting themes rather than porting a theme onto a pre-made theme's skeleton.

Theming in Drupal seems a lot easier than theming in Wordpress, that's probably because I've got over 3 months of direct experience with theming into a CMS.

At the moment I can do themes that are fluid in width but static in design. What I mean by static is that the content or primary block of the themes don't expand or contract according to the number of columns. The themes were the columns do expand or contract according to whats next to it is what I am referring to as Dynamic themes (Wordpress can only support themes with a static block structure.)

I can do a Dynamic theme but it just wouldn't be as effective or have as many customized block placements as a fluid width theme of a static block structure were the block columns wouldn't expand or contract according to how many blocks are placed next to it.

Dynamic themes are not really necessarily if one already has a pre made design with a fixed number of columns. Turning a theme from a 2 column theme to a 3 column theme is not as complicated as making a 3 column theme expand of contract its width.

Making a theme expand or contract the width of its content area isn't the complicated part. Its moving the margins of the sidebars that can break a 3 column theme. Most deigns do require a certain placement of the sidebars and if the calculations are not done right, the columns would be under the content area than next to it.

Figuring the right calculations would probably take a few weeks and once I find out how to do so, I'll post a tutorial or at least a link to a reference on how to calculating the column measurements for creating customized dynamic themes.
