define HEADER sales option not on pull down menu

[Sandhya]

well at least I have it denying me now...all day nothing has been happening, now it is saying denied, unable to upload, socket write error..
all I did was change the words, I(in that one spot) not the single quotes or anything, figured it out getting it to word pad, back on the list and back again...
oh well, at least I am getting something new now even though it isnt working...

[Sandhya]

did it, but nothing has happened. are updates supposed to be immediate? If so, I guess it didnt work...
try try again. I even made sure it was php format, not just word pad..

[Sandhya]

anyone know what this means?

can you paste the top 10 or so lines from that file here

[Sandhya]

thats what comes up on the screen when I try to log on to the shop by url...
I am a woos.
I am going to start from scratch again, for the 3rd time...
then see what happens..
I will be up again late tonight I can tell..

I dont want to have to go back and figure out where I went wrong on this when I dont know what I am doing in the first place.
I may dig in deeper and waste allot time in the process...I will trash it and reload it..thank god I have nothing in the store or anything in it. Thought I would start with the page front before starting into this and getting too deep, since its my first try at this "webpage stuff"

I can tell you I know all about cutting and pasting, and I didnt leave out any ( ) or ' ' everything was in tact.
this is a direct copy from what I got off my ftp/html feed
all I did was substitute the sacred goddess part;

I dont seem to have the "Custom" choice after english on my ftp files....

You have to create your own custom folders and files.

To create a very basic custom template (you can build from there), you need:

• includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php
• includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index.php
• includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php
• includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php (to change the logo)
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/logo.gif
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css

Anywhere you see a /classic/ folder, you can create a folder for your custom template. You can copy the necessary files from either the /classic/ folder, the /template_default/ folder or the parent folder.

Edit includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php to give your template identifying information so you'll recognize it in the admin under tools->template selection.

Here is a loaded question, I right clicked at the top and got the following code for what appears to be the whole page (starts right after this paragraph)..what if anything can I alter on it, and the million dollar question, when I go to my ftp maintenance, where do I put this, will it over ride everything? I love how I can see SALES MESSAGE GOES HERE> I am so tempted to change just that, put it on my ftp list and just put the whole d a m thing on.
eeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrgh
