Editing Your Template in Frontpage
Allwebco templates were originally created in Notepad but they can be edited in Microsoft Frontpage also. Some edits will need to be done in a text editor like Notepad or SimpleText.
Step #2:
Once you are unzipped, first thing, find the help.html and follow the steps. You will want to start your editing on your local hard drive before you upload the site using FTP software. Before you use Frontpage you will need to edit some files in Notepad or a Simple Text editor. Click here for Notepad editing and go through the 4 steps.
Step #3: | Set Frontpage options
Before you open any HTML pages in Frontpage, open your Frontpage software. Select "Tools" then "Page Options" then "HTML Source" from the menu. Choose "Preserve Existing html" in these options. You will do this so Frontpage will not disturb any existing template code.
Step #4: | Start Frontpage editing
After you have edited the flash.txt, header.js and other files in Notepad, you will want to edit your site using Frontpage. Open Frontpage, browse to the directory where you unzipped the template files and start with the index.html. (if your template has an intro you may want to start with the home.htm).
Previewing Your Template:
While you are editing in Frontpage, the Flash animation, your header, footer and menu may not be visible. This is because of the global javascript files. Those are edited using Notepad (see above). You will want to have Frontpage open as well as your web browser at the same time. Edit a page in Frontpage, then open the same page (you can drag and drop from your website directory into the browser) in your browser and view the edits. Edit some more on the page and then "refresh" (F5) your browser.
