Instructions For Using The HTML Templates
The best way to make these templates work for you is to open
them up in an HTML editor like Microsoft FrontPage.
(Dreamweaver or HomeSite works just as well).
While I still believe
Microsoft
FrontPage is the best, if you
don't own or want to buy it, you can use my
free HTML software.
FrontPage has gotten a lot of bad press over the years
because it used to add extraneous code and was very sub par
compared to the other editors.
However, I've been using their most recent version on my
site, 2CreateAWebsite.com, and it works just fine. In fact,
I love it!
Apparently, Microsoft listened to the negative feedback and
greatly improved the software since its first release in
1998.

USING THE TEMPLATES
1. Create a new folder on your PC and call it whatever you
want.
2. Open the zip folder you just downloaded. This contains
all the template files you need. Copy and paste all files
inside into the folder you just created.
Leave the folder structure "as is". So inside your new
folder, you should have an index.html file, a CSS folder
(for most) and an images folder.
3. Open your HTML editor of choice. Feel free to use
my free editor.
4. Use the "File", "Open" command and navigate to your new
folder where the template files are stored.
5. Open the file named index.html
6. Now you can begin editing and customizing the template to
your liking.
