Thanks guys, have to give full credit to BPC for the idea of the layout - I just added my own style to it.
The layout is still a work in progress - but exported it and uploaded it to the orig post.
Yep, I put it together with photoshop. Got the layout the way i liked it in TD, then took a screen capture and pasted in PS. I eventually set that layers blend mode to lighten (or drop the opacity) so that i could create the boxes underneath in the right places.
Tried to zip the psd's and upload but they were over the 1meg limit (~1.3-1.9meg zipped - "compatability" turned off in PS).
I might have to loose a few layers to shrink the size down and then retry.
