Hi Kriesi,
All-in-all, I feel Shoutbox is a powerful template. All was going well until...
I was trying to use the widgets for the frontpage, but they were not displaying. I had already setup my menu system, created my pages, and imported my posts. I then made the mistake of clicking on the "Import Data" key and lost all of my formatting. After going back through the main Shoutbox options, I had everything in place but the menu. The Main Menu was a combination of the imported data and the old menu. I went through and deleted all of the imported menu items and re-saved. However, the homepage styling was lost. Please take a look at : http://www.seakdesigns.com/dev/ to see the current menu.
I am also unable to use the frontpage widgets and I have a couple of questions with regards to the template builder (which does not appear to be displaying the slideshow).
Create a new thread and tell me what problems you are encountering and what you want to know. 
There is no step 3 :)
