template newbie - changing text

[ellabet]

hi there! this is my first post and first attempt at using a template ... i am not completely new to html as i self-taught myself the basics a long time ago ... i'm also not new to photoshop so i was actually doing pretty well changing the template i wanted to use (it's the beautysalon template) ... i've gotten most of my graphics and colors switched out .. my problem is the text ... i can't figure out where or how i'm supposed to do that ... it's not in PS right? but where in my coded doc do i change it as i don't see it? also, i need to get rid of the title "Beauty Salon" at the top and the word "search" accompanied by it's box ... i figured out how to adjust the size of the box but can't get rid of it ... i assumed it was this section of the code:

#search .text {
width: 0px;
}

but when i delete the whole thing it's still there ... any thoughts? oh, that and the "copyright statement goes here" thing ... i need to get that out too ...

would greatly appreciate the help!

thanks!
elle

Your html must be rusty...
as you need to look into the index html page.
remove the complete "search" div id or you could just remove that which is in between the <div id and the close division
at the bottom of the page is the "footer" id, just take out the copyright text.

oh no doubt my html is rusty ... lol ... it's been like - oh, i don't know 9 years?? and it was just basic understanding ... anyways thanks so much for replying and for the tips ... i think that's just my problem ... i take out the code completely and it just flushes it left ??? what am i doing wrong? i feel like i did all the hard stuff and now it's just the easy stuff left ...
