Can someone assist me in helping me make my info center look like this? I don't really know how to "section" different things.

Hi Kitezer

You 'section' thing by using a table. Organize it with rows <td> and within each row, you use cells <td>. If a cell is meant to span more than one column, you use the [colspan] attribute within the tag for the cell. For instance: <td colspan="2">

You can even subdivide further by placing a table within a cell on the main table.

All I have so far is the Top Row that says all the "Totals" and the "Users Online" part.

I'm not sure how you're getting the information for some of the items on the first row. Some of the information can be gotten by use of template variables. I've placed those where they exist. Can you tell me what you're using to get the information in the items in parentheses(?)

Total Categories: (?)
Total Boards: (?)
Total Sub-Boards: (?)
Total Topics: $[total_threads]
Total Posts: $[total_posts]
Total Members: $[total_members]

I think we need to discuss what you're doing on this row before we move forward. Creating tables can be a complicated affair.

I know Legend is a plugin but I don't know how to give it it's own box to the right.

You don't actually need to use a plugin for legend. You can create a row in your table and use the first cell in the table for Users Online and the second cell in the table can be for your legend.

Forum Age I know is also a plugin.

The Forum Age plugin will create its own row within the Stats container. You will need to declare the Forum Start Date in the plugin settings.
