Hello,

Can someone give me some direction on how to add a 'page' to my template? I currently have a Home, Archive, About, and Comments 'page' and would like to simply add another page similar to the About page for News, where I could post daily or weekly updates.

Thanks in advance!

I think the easiest way is to
1) copy the about_template.html page to e.g. news_template.html
2) add a new menu to every existing template page.
something like (just copy another menu line and adapt it): <a href="?x=news">News</a>
3) Put your news into the news_template.html file replacing the about stuff in there.

Hope that's a first help for you.

Dude, big thanks, with the Wiki, even though it's down, I was afraid replies would simply direct me toward that for instructions on extending templates. Your instructions worked perfectly, check it out if you want, www.pixelfuss.com. Not a shameless plug, just thought you might appreciate seeing your effort put to use, I certainly do! Thanks again!

One additional question....my footer is no longer centered, I tried a few things, but can't figure it out, it's the same as the other pages....any tips?

Your footer is centered in Safari and FF. What browser are you using? IE?

Hi, thanks for having a look at my post, I've checked in both Safari and Firefox, the page where my footer is not centered is the News page, see here: http://pixelfuss.com/index.php?x=news

Try adding text-align: center; to the #footer id tag in your horizon css file.

Hey, I had the text-alight: center, looks like the problem was due to missing infobox divider. Added this prior to the footer code, and it's fixed!

</ul>
</div>
</div> <!--/infobox -->

Thank you for this, I used it to make a mosaic template to my delicious theme. It was really easy when I did as you recommended. Thank again :-)
