What is the loading time of this template?

As is, the pages load at around 16 seconds over 28.8 modem connection.  That translates to 8 seconds over a 56k modem, and, ummm...  well, milliseconds over cable or DSL connection.  Our flash movie in the header is less than 22k, FAR smaller than the average .jpg or .gif image file of the same size!

Can I easily change out the image in the javascript rotating entry page?

Yes, as long as you have a graphics program capable of opening a .psd format file, and you know how to use it!  We've included, in the images/rotation_images/ directory, a file named "customize_me.psd" - sized and layered properly to make replacement a breeze!  Make note of the names the finished images need to be (topimage1.jpg, topimage2.jpg, ... topimage6.jpg) - save your finished images back into the same directory with the appropriate filenames to overwrite our images.

Can I easily change out the image in the upper left inside pages?

Again, yes, as long as you have a graphics program capable of opening a .psd format file, and you know how to use it!  We've included, in the images/design_elements/ directory, a file named "customize_me.psd" - sized and layered properly to make replacement a breeze!  After customization, save back to the same directory as topleft.jpg, overwriting our image.

Can I easily change the colors on the left and/or right sides?

Yes, if you have an understanding of how CSS works.  The left and right cells are controlled by the external .css file, located in the root directory of your web.  You will NOT be able to go with an extremely light left color, as our theme is pre-set for the buttons to have white lettering.  Your vertical navigation/link bar buttons will "assume" the color of the background color you select for the cell.

Can I easily change the color at the top of the page?

It depends - they were done graphically, and unless you're fairly capable with a good graphics program (and many of you are!!!), you can't do it.  If you ARE capable with a graphics program, modify the files top2r.gif (that's the green horizontal bar), top1r.gif (that's the upper right blue area), and of course, the blue in the customize_me.psd files.

How do I change the lettering on the logo?

You can insert your OWN logo (NOTE!  74 pixels high maximum), OR, you can open the file images/design_elements/logo_blank.gif and add lettering to it in a graphics program, then replace our logo with your newly-created logo.

What's wrong with the menu on my entry page?

You need to change the format of the navigation/link bar for that page only:

FP2000:  Right click over the white buttons on the left.  Select  "Navigation Bar Properties" from the pop-up listing.  In the new window, at the bottom, select "text" rather than the already selected "buttons".  Click OK, then save the page.  The new text navigation will inherit the values we've placed in the CSS accompanying this template.

FP2002:  Right click over the white buttons on the left.  Select "Link Bar Properties" from the pop-up listing.  From the pop-up window, click the tab "Style".  Scroll down to select the style that appears as:  Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx - then select OK, and save the page.  The new text navigation will inherit the values we've placed in the CSS accompanying this template.

Can I add more pages?

Certainly!  You can add as many as you wish!  Just use our blank page templates (see the "What's Included" page of this template).  Go to the Folder List (View, Folders).  Open the template of your choice (let's assume it is blank.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 upper or lower sections???

The upper portion and the lower portion are 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 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!
