Embed forum within another site layout.

How would one accomplish building a site in dreamweaver and then placing the forum (as is) within the graphical layout of that site. Would it be done using tables?
P.S. I am not looking for step by step directions or anything, just some guidance so that I can do more research into it and learn how it could be done. ie. a general idea

If you mean the code view you are in luck because Vanilla has anticipated this need. In your installation folder, open the themes folder and in there you will see head.php, adding code to the end of that (in the last echo) will allow you to put things like your website header and menu above the Vanilla forum. If you have a footer to add, then you add the code to foot.php. Hopefully this helps, feel free to ask more about it because it is the first thing I do when I install Vanilla

You see how it ends at line 43, just push enter and make line 44 after the closing php tag and write your code in HTML. For example here is how you add a link to the top of the page using head.php:
