...help with the .Pepper' template...

[edlittlejr]

Maybe I'll getting a response in the right section...the following is from my yesterday's post in the 'Template' forum:

First of all I wanted to say THANK YOU to the multiple individuals for all of your hard work keeping this forum available for us 'Newbies' to web building...this is the reason I decided to use Pixelpost over other photoblog software. The forum has also helped me in uploading the 'Pepper' template and even helped me modify it to post images of 750 pixels or smaller...the previous template only took 600 pixels, or less, across. It was a lot of work, but I did it...well almost.

Here are my questions:

1) I can not seem to post the Title and Subtitle using the template.psd file.
I was able to make changes in the background's colors with the template.psd file...and it is in my root folder. I've even gone to the point of changing the header.png file...but the words/font came out jagged. I thought maybe it's the font...but I used the same Tahoma font that came with the 'Pepper' template.

The site is here:

2) How can I add information to my 'about + links' page? I looked through the index.php and style.css file but couldn't find where I may make changes. Do I need an HTML Editor?...if so can you recommend an editor? I tried Pagebreeze, but it did not work...so I uninstalled the free software.

3) I can't seem to move the 'about + links' hyperlink to the right...it's kind of half way between half the page and the right margin...I hope this make sense.

4) Finally...if I wanted to add extra pages...how can I achieve this?

I hope this is not too much...and again, thanks for the support.

there should be a HTML page for about in the template folder.

I guess I should of clarified that I was aware of the about_template.html in the 'Pepper' folder...but I just did not know how to make changes. I finally figured it out by using 'WordPad' to make changes...but I still don't know how to add extra sections.

I still can not figure out the 'Header' on my page...I did add a 'header' by way of changing the header.png file, but the font is jagged and/or not sharp. saved it as a gif in Image Ready from psd...then to png. That still did not work...am I the only one having this problem?

If anyone can help i would appreciate...I guess I do understand now that it does take awhile for someone to possibly receive support. If anyone can help sooner, the better...

Thanks.

Just wanted to clarify that by just making changes to the header using the template.psd did not make changes to the title and/or subtitle...just the color. I ended up making changes to the header.png file...but the font/words came out unclear and/or jagged.

I don't understand your problem with the header. Have you used "save for web" tool?

And for the links on the nav bar, you just have to adujst the span size on each html file. By default it's like that:

<div id="navbar">
<span style="float:left;width:230px"> <a href="index.php?showimage=4"><< <IMAGE_PREVIOUS></a> | <a href="index.php">current</a> | <a href="index.php?showimage=6"><IMAGE_NEXT> >></a></span> <span style="float:left;width:365px;text-align:right;"><a href="index.php?x=browse">archives</a> / <a href="index.php?x=about">about
+ links</a></span></div>

For the span that float left, you just have to enter a larger width.

That's also here that you can add a link to another page.

I hope it helped you.

Thanks...that helped a lot.

I figured out the header.png problem...I had to go to each template to change the width from 600 pixel to 750 pixel.

Again, thanks!
