I am not sure if this is the right place, but here goes nothing. I am currently trying to use the Drider template found on this very site but have come across a problem. The table only shows adjustments up to Large size. As I am trying to apply this Template to a Large creature which would hence forth be Huge in size I am wondering if anyone knows what the adjustments would be? I want it to be "official". Any help would be great(either the #'s or who I should contact for this info). Thank you.

Well, looking over the template (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/mm/20011118a) progression, I would say the table would progress like this:

New Size Min. HD Min. NA Bite Dmg Poison
Huge 9 9 1d6 1d8 STR
Gargantuan 13 13 1d8 2d6 STR
Colossal 18 18 2d6 2d8 STR

And of course don't forget the standard increase in size bonuses and penalties from the Improving Monsters (http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/improvingMonsters.html)section of the Monster Manual.

Bear in mind that is nothing official, just my guesstimate. It is however based upon the logical progression that the table established.

The Minimum Hit Dice numbers given were 3, 4 and 6. Extending that, the progression would seem to be X, Y=(X+1), Z=(Y+2); so I carried it out to A=(Z+3), B=(A+4) and C=(B+5). As for the bite damage and poison damage, I just followed standard size adjustment progressions.
