Whether you are new to the FrontPage program or are a more advanced user, we feel you will find our templates easy to use and modify. We've tried to make all of the instructions easy to follow. All you have to do is delete our content and add your own text and images. Easy!

Style Sheets and Classes:

Each table cell within this template uses a CSS class to format the information contained within it. Our CSS file is "commented" to help you identify locate and identify specific items. You can also find which class was used by right-clicking in a table cell and selecting Cell Properties. In the window that appears, click on the Style Button. Under "Class" you will see the name of the name of the class we used. In FrontPage 2003, you can easily see which classes and/or IDs are applied to specific areas if you look at the "Quick Tag Selector" bar.

Newsletter Sign-Up:

The newsletter subscription is active. Those who subscribe will be directed to the Thank You page and their results are saved in the private folder where you can retrieve the results at a later time. You can also choose to have the results emailed to you. You can find more details about forms in the FrontPage help files.

Your Name Here and Slogan:

We have used plain text for the "Your Name Here" at the top of each page. The font, color, and size are set within the "yourname" class in the style sheet. You can easily change these attributes by modifying the CSS file. We have placed this text in an include page (includes/logo.htm) so you only have to change it once and it will be correct on all of your pages. We have also placed the "Your Slogan or Tag Line Here" on the slogan.htm page within the includes folder.

Shockwave/Flash Movie:

We have added a Shockwave/Flash animation to the home page. The movie on the home page has text you can easily change by editing the text located in the external_text.txt file.

&line1text= Your First Text Line Goes Here&
&line2text= Your Second Text Line Goes Here&
&line3text= Your Last Line of Text Goes Here&
&line4text= Your Company Name&

You can also change our main image for one of your own. If you wish to substitute another photo, it must be sized to 750 pixels wide by 190 pixels tall and saved within the images folder as mainimage.jpg. Both the size and file name are important.

Working With Images:

We have given you a way to easily add your own pictures and have them float to either the left or right of the page.

Aligning an image to the left: Once your image has been inserted on the page, right-click on the image and select Picture Properties from the menu. In the dialog box that appears, click on the Style button. In this new dialog box, enter the name “imageleft” - without the quotes - into the area next to class. Click OK to close the dialog boxes. Your image will now have the double border and be positioned on the left side of the page.

Aligning an image to the right: Once your image has been inserted on the page, right-click on the image and select Picture Properties from the menu. In the dialog box that appears, click on the Style button. In this new dialog box, enter the name “imageright” - without the quotes - into the area next to class. Click OK to close the dialog boxes. Your image will now have the double border and be positioned on the right side of the page.

No alignment: In some cases you may wish for your image to be centered. Position your image, right-click on the image and select Picture Properties from the menu. In the dialog box that appears, click on the Style button. In this new dialog box, select the name “imageplain” from the class drop down box. Click OK to close the dialog boxes. Your image will now have the border but be centered on the page.

Site Navigation:

We have used both Include pages and standard FrontPage navigation "web-bots" to make your choices a bit more flexible:

• Global navigation links in the top header can be found are FrontPage navigation set to "global" level.
• The copyright information and links at the bottom of each page can be found on the footer.htm page.
• The main navigation in the bar above is found in includes/mainnav.htm.
• The sidebar navigation appears to the right on some pages. The FrontPage navigation levels are set to either "child level" or "same level" as appropriate.

Copyright Information:

The copyright information can be easily changed by opening the footer.htm page located in the include folder. You will change the information once and it will be changed on all of the pages within your site. Once the template is purchased, you may delete our credit and site link.
