I have to be honest, I'm not sure why it makes a difference how the
final page is constructed from the CSS point of view...

That will only work INSIDE the page trapper routine in /lib

yea, absolutely - if the default sidebar stuff doesn't work than just skip it.

you'll be giving up a lot of admin control over the skin - in other
words, future changes will require coding instead of just an
non-coding admin using forms to change the look/feel of the site like
layouts and customizing extras in the sidebar - but if that's not a
problem then hack away - it's your skin.

I'm not sure what you're calling the 'Page for index' - perhaps the
upload listing page? You should use the 'default' dataview unless you
absolutely HAVE to write a custom one. There are several detailed
tutorials

The 'homepage' is whatever you want it to be - there is no system
homepage, especially none with breadcrumbs - I guess I'm not sure what
you're asking here...

for a /docs file in your pages directory you should be able to put a
<h1> tag and have that picked up in the title.

for a query in a tab you can use the title=Some Title parameter in the query.
