I usually edit my theme file in wordpad.
Anything else that needs to be edited for 'looks', is done with the template editor from the admin area.
Anything else, like editing the actual php files is considered a 'hack'...something I do rarely if at all.
here's a link to a good resource for dreamweaver, if you are more comfortable using that to edit your theme....

What theme are you using?
I use the if/else statement in many sites for many reasons, and have never had to alter any back end stuff to get it to work.
Let me know what theme you are using, or send me a copy of yours, and I'll be more than happy to look into it for you.
remember:
your theme is located here:
http://www.yourdomain.xxx/themes/name of theme/theme.html
- you must throw away all
http://www.yourdomain.xxx/templates_c/*files before you will see the changes you have made, or set XOOPS to check for new versions in the admin--->systems--->prefs--->general settings area.
let me know how it goes....
