You will not be able to "see" the template in your editor. You can go as simple as opening the file in an online file manager, clicking "edit" and editing the file there, OR you can use an FTP program to download the files, use an editor on your computer to edit the files, then FTP the changed files back. But when you edit, you'll be just viewing TEXT, you won't see the template.

Most of your changes will be done in language files, if you are happy with the template, and only want to change text. My advice for a newbie is to ask your host for a link to an online file manager, and edit your files there (make a copy first in case you mess up). Again, most of the files you will adjust will be in includes/languages/english/, includes/languages/english/cherry_zen/ and much text for your zen cart is at includes/languages/cherry_zen/english.php
Hi Jade:

I thought that I found a good tutorial on how to change the look of my home page and really messed up. I put the ftp files into my editor and made changes to public html/includes/languages/cherry_zen/english.php. Basically where it said things like "welcome to the zen cart" I replaced it with "welcome to paradise embroidery designs" I saved this and went to look at my site to see if the changes to place. Well...something took place...the site is gone.

The only change that I succeeded with was adding my header so I haven't gotten very far. Would I be better off re-installing the Cherry Zen template and starting over again? I did do a back up, but can't figure out how to use the back up, lol.

I have no idea why the site disappeared, but I now know that I need step by step zen instructions and I'm ordering the book tomorrow.

I did accomplish something...figured out how to put the ftp files into my Expression Web. Hopefully that program is okay for editing.

Thanks,
