Editing Your Template
Editing templates is as easy or as difficult as you want to make it. Most people want to edit the colours so let's start there.
Change The Colour
- Open default.css in a text editor
- Look for the "a" command. There will be reference to "color: #xxxxxx" within that command.
- Using a search and replace facility, replace all instances of "#xxxxxx" for "#yyyyyy" where xxxxxx is the original hexadecimal code in default.css and yyyyyy is the new code you want to replace it with. You can find a list of hexadecimal codes here.
- Repeat this for the "a:hover" command.
If your template contains coloured images, you will need to create these in an image editor in the colour of your choice.
Add An AdSense Banner / Affiliate Banner
Edit adsense.php and put your banner code in here. More details can be found here.
Add Some Home Page Text
All templates have blurb.php which enables you to add some text to the home page. This could be a description about your site or some links to various pages on your site.
Some templates have featuredblurb.php as blurb.php is used for another element on the home page. Instructions are included in the blurb.php file in this instance.
