Vtec,
Dynamic interactive sites like CS uses a different layering than static sites. PHP pages control the content queries from MySql dbase and assorted tweaks. These need to be done correctly to avoid SQL injection attacks. The templates are smarty template which controls the type of content available per page. CSS controls the look and some javascript and jquery control assorted special effects. Changing the look of the site is mostly CSS and smarty template, but adding additional features can get into the other. There are templates out there for sale and the price is certainly worth it considering the amount of time you would have to spend to make changes and then check it across all possible pages, and browsers.
Look around the forum for offers of templates or do a search for clip-share templates. I would highly recommend you don't bother trying to tweak the CS site yourself, unless you are planning to release a new template for sale and support.
Hope that helps.
