making a layout with CSS in CakePHP

[Tomfox Wiranata]

hi,

before i used cakephp i designed a layout with CSS "naked" (no
framework, no CMS) to show a members profile. now, i am asking myself
how to make this work in cakephp.

this is what i got worked so far:

i put all my divs containers into a view template:
<div class="frame">
        <div class="rightcolumn">
                <div class="databox">
                        <div class="title">Allgemeines</div>
                        <form action="" method="post" name="profile" 
id="profile">
                        <div class="row">
                                <span class="label">Vorname</span>
                                <span class="profiledata"><?php echo 
$row['firstname'];?></span>
                        </div>

                        <div class="row">
                                <span class="label">Nachname</span>
                                <span class="profiledata"><?php echo 
$row['name'];?></span>
                        </div>

                        <div class="row">
                                <span class="label">Nickname</span>
                                <span class="profiledata"><?php echo 
$row['nickname'];?></span>
                        </div>

                        <div class="row">
                                <span class="label">Mitglied seit</span>
                                <span class="profiledata"><?php echo 
$row['date_created'];?></
span>
                        </div>
                        </form>
                </div>

                <form action="profile.php" method="post" name="gotoEdit"
id="gotoEdit">
                        <div class="button"><input name="editProfile" 
type="submit"
id="editProfile" value="Ändern" /></div>
                </form>

        </div>

</div>
</div>

now, where do i put my css file (where all the divs are defined)? is
there a special folder for that? and where do i inlcude this file in
my code to tell cake to use this specific css file?

do i retrieve the user information for his profile in my controller?
probably with the find method?
do i put the code to print/show the information in my model?

right now i am using a loop to show the data:
                        <div class="row">
                                <span class="label">Mitglied seit</span>
                                <span class="profiledata"><?php echo 
$row['date_created'];?></
span>
                        </div>

but that wont work with cake

so technically i dont know how to tell cake to use my css file, where
(model or controller) to get the data from the table, and how/where to
show the data (model or controller) that it appears in my divs

any help would be great. thx soooo much
