FAQs

What is the loading time of this template?

• As is, the pages  load at around 6 seconds over 28.8 modem connection.  That translates to 3 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.    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.

Can do I change the flash movie?

• To modify the "Your Name Here" in the movie, simply open the file "textvars.txt" from the folder list, and replace "Your Name Here" with your own name.  Save, and you're finished!

What impact does flash have on search engine placement?

• None.  Our embedded flash movies are no different from using graphics that aren't flash movies as far as search engines are concerned.  The standard HTML remains in place, and you will enter your own META tags the same way you would with a non-flash enhanced web site.

What if I don't WANT to use the flash movie?

• No problem - simply delete the movie from the "include_top.htm" page, put in your own text or graphics, save, and your changes will appear throughout 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 Templates" 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 lower section or right side???

• The lower portion of this template is contained in an included, separate page for your convenience.  This way, you only have to make the modifications on one page for them to appear on all pages.  Open the page include_bot.htm to make your changes, save, and you're done!
   
• The right side content for this template is contained in an included, separate page as well.  Open the page include_rightcontent.htm to make your changes.
   

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.
