There is some code inside them: {include file='header.tpl' p="article"} <br /> <table width="886" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="150" valign="top...

All the (web)designers I've known or worked with, used photoshop almost exclusively, and yet, now that I wanna try my hand at web-design for a personal project, I feel compelled to use a vector graphics application (namely Inkscape).
