I have a bit of a problem

WhisperElmwood · Post by **WhisperElmwood** » Wed Dec 15, 2004 5:53 pm

I've just been able to access my account, I've read the 'gear tutorials' and I've filled out the neccessary information in the account itself.
Now I want to use the 'ready-made' ocean blue indextemplate (by Ping Teo) for my page. This is where I find the problem... I can't figure out where I'm supposed to put it oo; Or exactly how I'm supposed to put it (as it were...)
If I'm not logging into the right place, you can just tell me to stop being stupid and give me the link, but the place I'm logging into has these main places:

Username Edit/View
Comics Edit/View

That's it - and I've filled out everything I can in both of these places. Am I missing something? ^^

edit: oh, sorry - forgot. My page is http://stand.keenspace.com

You need to use FTP to put your pages. I'd suggest the <a href="http://siteadmin.keenspace.com/cgi-bin/ ... >webFTP</a>, since you're new at this. Once you're in, click on the directory "workspace". Your indextemplate and dailytemplate go there. If there are other pages, they go in the "webpages" directory in "workspace". Then, run a manual update to trigger the change.

Are you referring to the FTP program? If you don't have one I recommend SmartFTP. It works very well. Just log in under your keenspace username and password. The html would be under the daily_template and index_template. That's all the input I can give with that amount of info. Everything else just listen to Moghendhim.

Thankyou so much for this ^^

I'm sorry! it was about four am when I was fiddling with things, so my brain wasn't working and I left that rather vague and stupid note.

Basically, I'm such a novice at these things that I couldn't even figure out how to get the html code saved as an html so I could load it up on the ftp as my indextemplate.

Oh, and a friend looking at the page on his own computer couldn't see my image at all - just a big blank space. I can see it fine on my own computer, and so can most other people, but not him for some reason. I'm thinking he may have a firewall in place or something...

ugh - sorry for being such a bother

In theory, if you right-click on the page, you can select "Save page as..." and you just save it somewhere on your computer as "indextemplate.html". Then use webFTP to put that in /workspace. The rest of the directions for the template are <a href="http://www.thejaded.co.uk/workshop/ocea ... l">here</a>. Basically, after you get the template up, the rest is just a bunch of saving images to your computer and then FTP-ing them up to your /public_html/images.
