ladysaat,

Ooohhh gawd, I am so sorry for asking soooo many questions.

I have read the following instructions on how to set up a new template, but am not 100% sure what I am doing, as my web host set up the template default I am using now.

So if I want to create my own, I must firstly create my own template (questions I am not sure about are below) and then I use FileZilla and the FireFTP extension to ammend the files within the new template.

Hope thats right

Thanks again
Kindest Regards
Nikki

Here is the tutorial I was stuck with..

1. make a new folder, perhaps something like:

includes/templates/mary

This is the working area for your own custom template
I created this folder in windows explorer, is that right?

2. make 4 subfolders in there:

- common

- css

- images

- templates

I also created these in windows explorer, is that right?

3. copy the existing files from the template_default/css and template_default/images into the appropriate folders in your new working area
I looked for this in Windows Explorer, and couldnt find it, should I copy it from my remote server, as that is the only place I can find it?

4. copy the "tpl_header.php" from the template_default/common folder

You'll want to edit this file to incorporate your custom page-header. This is the appearance of the tops of all your pages.

How do I edit this

5. copy the "tpl_footer.php" from the template_default/common folder

You can edit the footer area to appear as you like.

Thanks for your time
