What is the loading time of this template?

• As is, the pages load at around 14 seconds over 28.8 modem connection.  That translates to 7 seconds over a 56k modem, and, ummm...  well, milliseconds over cable or DSL connection. 

Where's the theme???

• There *is* no theme.  This template relies solely on an external CSS (cascading style sheet) for its font sizes, styles, colors, and table cell colors.

Can I easily change the colors on this template?

• Very easily, IF you know how to modify a cascading style sheet.  All our fonts and colors are defined in the file "style.css".  You can open that file and make the changes for the color numbers of your choice there.

Can I change the flash movies?

• Only if you have Flash 5 or MX and you know how to use it.  We have included the .fla source for the movies with the template package.

How do I change "YourName.com" in the flash movies if I *don't* have Flash 5 or MX?

• Drop us a quick e-mail and we will change out that line for you at no charge, returning the revised file to you by e-mail to copy into the web you built, overwriting our original file.

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.

How do I change the lettering on the logo?

• 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 pages index.htm and include_logo.htm.  The include_logo.htm is the page that fills in the "your logo" area at the top of the left cell.  If you don't want anything to show up there, just delete the contents of the include_logo.htm file (but not the file itself, unless you want to modify all the pages).

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 header and footer sections???

• The upper and lower portions of the inside pages 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_top.htm and  include_bot.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.  The only thing to make note of is this template is fixed in width, so your pictures *will* need to be sized so they don't expand the template, making a mess out of the header area!
