Adding Templates

Templates are basically designing how your template will look.

WARNING! YOU NEED HTML AND CODING KNOWLEDGE BEFORE YOU MESS AROUND WITH YOUR TEMPLATES!

To create a template, login to your Cutenews control panel and select Options >> Edit Templates >> Create New Template.

Once you have clicked Create New Template, you can choose whether to base your template on RSS, Default, Headlines or any other template you have created. If you are unsure, default is your best bet. Name your template and click Create Template.

It will then come up with a page that looks like this:

Now your template has been created, but it will look exactly the same as the one you based it on, so go back to Options and click on Edit Templates.

Now select your NEW template.

Make sure that you have selected the correct template, and then proceed to edit the html and css on all parts of the template. Remember to save when you've finished!

Depending on your CSS, you might want to put < h1>, < header> or < title> before the {title}. Note that whatever you put will need to go in Full Story as well as Short Story. You can put whatever wherever, but make sure it's coded correctly! Templates are easy to make and customize, once you get the hang of it.

Also remember that if you want to use this new template in your blog, you will need to integrate your blog again, selecting your new template. Don't know how to integrate? Click here for my tutorial.
