    First time using these templates and using "My Diary" and changing out .gif files fine using Photoshop (open gif, mode to RGB, make changes, back to Indexed Color, saved as gif, replace original in Image folder), works fine until I got to the items on "menu bar" (HOME, ABOUT ME, etc) but those gif files are not changed when open index file. Stumped, what am I missing here? What is different about these gif files except that they are buttons on the page itself?

    When working with templates you have to look at all the code, in all the files. The "style.css" file makes no mention of those graphics that you have edited. Which means they are not called up from there.

    The "index.html" shows only this code again no reference to those graphic files, but if you change the words highlighted in red and save the file you will see the change.
    Code:
    <ul>
      <li><a href="[URL="http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">Home</a></li"]http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">[COLOR=red]Home[/COLOR]</a></li[/URL]>
      <li><a href="[URL="http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">About"]http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">[COLOR=red]About[/COLOR][/URL] me</a></li>
      <li><a href="[URL="http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">Passion</a></li"]http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">[COLOR=red]Passion[/COLOR]</a></li[/URL]>
      <li><a href="[URL="http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">Hobbies</a></li"]http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">[COLOR=red]Hobbies[/COLOR]</a></li[/URL]>
      <li><a href="[URL="http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">Profession</a></li"]http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">[COLOR=red]Profession[/COLOR]</a></li[/URL]>
      <li><a href="[URL="http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">Collection</a></li"]http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">[COLOR=red]Collection[/COLOR]</a></li[/URL]>
      <li><a href="[URL="http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">Contact</a></li"]http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">[COLOR=red]Contact[/COLOR]</a></li[/URL]>
     </ul>
    Why are they in the images directory. Probably remnants from the psd file and when the coding was done, it was decided the method now shown was the better way to code the file.
