Tutorial: Customize a template part 1 + part 2
-
-
Well I was playing a little with one of the templates, and thought I would start out with a tutorial, that might help some to get started altering the templates to suit their needs.
I have seen a lot of "how can I" questions, perhaps I can help a few.
Apparently this stuff takes ages to make, so this is just part 1 of the tutorial. I hope to have a second ready soon.
Feel free to add comments, errors and other usefull info, so I can update it and make it better. And as stated in the tutorial, this is how I do stuff, so don't laugh
Pick it up here: www.tinypilot.com/misc/Template_tutorial_part_1.pdf - it's approx 600kb at the moment.
Regards
Thomas
Oh and keep it on the forum please

Excellent job, Thomas... picked up a couple of useful tips from the tutorial. And the Firefox extension you listed is way better than the Edit CSS tool I used, so that was a nice bonus as well.
Looking forward to Part 2

Thanks for the replies guys. I was a little worried if it was understandable at all, but it seems that it is.
Oh well that might change when someone who doesn't know anything tries it
Well I will continue with part two now, it's a quiet morning so I got some time.
Thanks again.
Thomas

I have uploaded part 2 of this tutorial. A lot shorter, but we get the rest of the top sorted.
Go get it here:

Again feel free to add whatever you feel, especially if you got some clever words regarding the disappering dividers ???
Next part will be more about the content sections, and the footer.

You're welcome Yves..
Damn the sun was shining, so I brought that into the template instead of the black menu bar. So if the colors does not match the tutorial, it's because I am already experimenting with the tutorial myself - you're allowed to do the same.
I have not changed any steps or procedures, just changed colours.
Bye bye!
