Adding Pages
It's easy to create new pages and add them to your web. Open a sample
page or another page you have created and select "save as" and
rename it. The new page should have the layout intact. Change the
content or graphics inside the new page.
Navigation
FrontPage navigation is used. Create the needed pages. Open
navigation view-- View > Navigation. Drag and drop the page files
into the structure your site needs.
To make changes to the navigation bars on the pages, right click on
the nav bar and select Navigation Bar Properties.
Changing Graphics
Blank company name and column headline graphics are provided. These are found in the images folder. Import the needed graphics into your graphics program (Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Image Composer, etc.) to modify them. For the column headlines graphic, if the program allows, place it in a layer, making additional layers for the words. Display each word layer, one at a time, plus the background layer, save the newly modified headlines as .gifs, and export into the template.
OR use the Fireworks editable .png files found in the PNGs folder. If you do not have Fireworks, a free trial copy is available from Macromedia. With the .png files the color of the graphics can be easily
changed. PNG files should NOT be published with your website. If you
wish to use them, remove them from the template and store them elsewhere
on your hard drive. If you do not wish to use them, simply delete.
Tip: Give the new graphics the same file names as the original graphics in the template, letting them override the original graphics in the images folder. This way they will automatically fall into place in the template. After the new graphics are in the images folder, rename the files to make more sense for your site.
We are also available to modify the graphics for a nominal fee. Please contact us for details.
Include Files
Note that some elements elements that occur on all pages of this site
exist as include pages. You can find these include pages in the
"includes" folder of this web.
The include pages are inserted into the main pages in order to allow
you to make global changes to your site or change many pages at the same
time. To do this you must right click on the area you would like to
edit. If it is indeed an include page you will see something like this
in the pop up menu:
Open file: c:\ location
and name of include page
Or - you can open the include pages via folders view. Once the file
is open - make the necessary changes and save them. All pages utilizing
the include page should update upon saving.
Cascading Style Sheets
In folders view, double-click on organized.css. This will open the
CSS page. The code governing the links in the header and in the body
will be found there.
a.top:link
controls the navigation bar at the top of the page under the tabs.
a.left:link controls the navigation bar in the left column.
a:link controls the
body links.
To change the color of the links - simply make changes to the html
color coding such as #ffffff or #336699. Find the HTML color code for
the color of your choice and insert the number in place of the existing
one.
If you wish to remove the Cascading Style Sheet properties...simply
remove the code calling the sheet in the head section of the include
pages as well as any code associated with it in the body of the include
pages such as <LINK REL=STYLESHEET
TYPE="text/css" HREF="organized.css">
</head> and class="left"
