The people hosting my site were nice enough to install the ZenCart and your template for me, but now I'm trying to customize the template. I am so confused with this and not sure if I'm doing the right thing here. I've read your instructions quite a few times, but I'm so green with all this stuff that I still find this confusing.

I uploaded the image of my header into the template images out of my control panel, but I don't really know how to over write your logo image.

Would it be possible for you to point me in the right direction with customizing your template? Am I suppose to put your template into a program such as Expression Web to edit and make changes. I'm confortable using EW, but can't figure out how to get your template in there.

A feel so dazed and confused with this whole thing. I do apologize for bothering you, but any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
To overwrite the logo, simply rename your logo to logo.gif, and upload it to includes/templates/cherry_zen/images

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
