I have a few easy questions.
1. I finally took the plunge and started to modify the templates. Well it did not blow up so that is good, but the colors in my tables did not show up. The tables were produced but everything is white. Suggestions? Solutions?
2. How do I change the site titles etc.
Is there a way to say new site titles etc.? And if you, can they be templated so I do not have to recreate them on each page?
Thanks in advance for your help.
