CODE
but im not so sure how to make a thumbnail of the layout and furthermore a preview of the layout...any help is appreciated!!
to make a thumbnail picture of the layout all you have to do is take a screenshot while you're viewing the layout, then save it, then resize the picture to your liking.
and for the preview? are you talking about a layout previewer like the ones nuclearcentury has, with a dropdown menu at the top, where u can choose to preview the different layouts all on one page? if so, that's a custom php script. nobody i know of will give it to you (nuclearcentury sure won't) if you don't know how to make it, then you'd probably have to pay someone to give it to you or make it for you. i had mine made by someone on rentacoder.com
