I really appreciate the Basic Primer posted... it is helpful. But I guess I am stuck on more basic things. I have never worked with templates and am trying to learn. I have searched through this forum but cannot find what I am looking for as far as other basics. Was I supposed to edit the template before I uploaded it to filezilla?
This is what i do. Upload what you download so you know what it looks like with out before messing with it. then edit the files on you computer then upload the changed files and see what changes it makes to what the original was.
I download all my templates into a directory called "templates". I unzip the template I want to use and save them in separate directory under the templates directory (this way I can always reference the original) Next I copy the unzipped template to a directory called "work", edit it there until I'm happy, then upload it to my website. "download looks like" <templates> temp1zip temp2zip temp1unzip temp2unzip "work looks like this" <work> temp1work temp2work With any browser you can just click on the index.html file or any .html to view it without uploading it.
