Creating Your Own Theme
Now that you have designed your site
and are feeling comfortable with the
SiteBuildingSystem tools, you can
customize your web site even further by
creating your own theme. You can use
your own colors, designs and graphics;
and you can even add your own logo. In
just a few simple steps, you can make
your web site all yours!
From the tool bar, select
Modules >
Create My Theme
.
Upload an JPEG image or SWF file that
you want to use as the background or
use an image you already uploaded in
Image Editor
. Don't forget that the file
needs to be 775 pixels wide by 600
pixels high, or it will be distorted. Follow
the directions in the Image Uploading
section for uploading images.
If you uploaded any files, remember to
press the
Refresh
button for the new
images to show up.
Select the file you want to use from the
list. Next, select the style of buttons you
want to use on your site. In the
Button
Categories
section, click on each of the
styles to see what the buttons look like.
After choosing a category, select the color you want to use from the
Button Sets
group.
Click
Create My Theme
. The web site refreshes with the new background and buttons applied.
Because the background and buttons have changed, you may need to adjust the header, text,
and images so that they fit well into the color scheme and layout.
