Can I port my blog to Textpattern?

I have developed a blog/webpage for a friend with a blog system called bblog.
www.draug.no

However the development and support of bblog seems to be dying and there are some security issues that might never be fixed. So I’m looking for a new CMS and Textpattern seems great. I am also considering texpattern for another project.

To implement the design with bblog I had to do some rudimentary amataur template hacking. Would it be possible to convert my site to textpattern without redesigning everthing?

The code is very poor, I know, it’s a hybrid of tables and css. I’m a real amateur coder but I’m getting there.

Don’t mind the content of the site – it’s about a norwegian role playing game. I want to keep the basic navigation with the changing banners. Could maybe the highlighted links in the navigation below the header be done with css instead of javascript?

Porting a design is normally not the real problem :-)

Could maybe the highlighted links in the navigation below the header be done with css instead of javascript?

Sure, this normally works by simply putting the image into the background of for example a hyperlink and then changing the background using the :hover pseudoclass:

<pre>
<code>
a { background:url(normal.png) top left no-repeat;
}
a span { display:none;
}
a:hover { background:url(hovered.png) top left no-repeat;
}
</pre>
</code>

for details please search the web for “css image replacement” :)
