    Hello,

    I have never used a template before. Can you please tell me how to load it into my page? Can you please tell me what it is supposed to look like when I upload it? When I upload the Architecture template, it just shows a brown background and nothing else.

    Nevermind

    Hello,

    Nevermind guys, I got it.

    So Joieb, here are the steps

    1) Download the .zip file
    2) Go to the .zip file, right click it and select "Extract All"
    3) Open the HTML file in the extracted folder
    4) Edit the text in between the tags to modify the HTML

    If you need further help, just ask.

    Same prob... Kinda.

    I downloaded the template I liked (Which was freakin' awesome, you guys rock) but when I unzipped file, the html file was in an index.html type file. It opens up to a webpage that shows the finished template but I am having a hard time editing it.

    Also, I have Dreamweaver (just trying different things) so I opened the template in their and started editing the text. But I am having a hard time editing any pages other than the main one....? I'm able to change some text on the home page, but not sure how to edit the other ones. Any help in this would be greatly appreciated so I can get this bad boy up!

    Thank you thank you thank you in advance to any who respond with some insight.

    Hello,

    For the other pages, just open the index.html again, and save it as a different page. Go back to the main page, and link the text to the page you just created. Just use the index.html as a template for all your other pages. Make sure you don't click "Save", click "Save As", because then you will overwrite the template.

    If you need any further help, please post.

    Hello,

    I'm not sure what is happening. What exactly happens after you extract the .zip? Another folder should appear beside the .zip folder. Does that happen?
