FAQ's

What is the loading time of this template?

• As is, the pages  load at around 12 seconds over 28.8 modem connection.  That translates to 6 seconds over a 56k modem, and, ummm...  well, milliseconds over cable or DSL connection. 

Can I easily change the colors on this template?

• As long as you are familiar with CSS, you can change the colors, BUT please note - the image on the right is graphically faded to blend to the class "rightside" defined in our style sheet.  If you elect to change the color of the right side, you will also need to replace the graphic with one that is color-compatible.  Our colors and fonts are all defined in the "style.css" file, which is in the Folder List along with your other  files..

Where's the theme?

• There isn't one.  This template is totally driven by the external style sheet, and uses FrontPage Navigation for the menu system.

How do I change the logo at the top of the pages?

• Put your own logo in place, or you can just use FrontPage and type in your name and information.  You will need to do this on the include_top.htm and index.htm pages.  Our "Your Name Here" was done in an outside graphics program - if you have graphics capabilities, you may letter your own using the pre-sized "yournameblank.gif" image in the images/design_elements/ folder of the web.

Can I add more pages?

• Certainly!  You can add as many as you wish!  Just use one of our blank page templates (see the "What's Included" page of this template).  Go to the Folder List (View, Folders) and open the template named blank.htm (or blank2.htm).  As soon as it is open, go to File, Save AS... - then save it as the name you want your new page to have.  Now, go to the Navigation view (View, Navigation).  Is your Folder List open as well?  If not, the go to View, Folder LIST to open it.  Next, locate the new filename in the Folder List (it's probably at the bottom), left click over it and while holding down the left mouse button, drag it over into the Navigation Structure and drop it where you want it, so that it is underneath either the Home page or another existing page.  Repeat every time you wish to add a new page!

Why can't I change the (pick a word) in the upper or lower section???

• The upper and lower portions of this template are contained in included, separate pages for your convenience.  This way, you only have to make the modifications on one page for them to appear on all pages.  Open the pages include_bot.htm and include_top.htm to make your changes, save, and you're done!

Can I put my own images in the text area of the page?

• Sure - you can do virtually anything with this template you can do with any web.
