Hey everyone, I just got accepted so I am new to the Cpanel. I want to add a template to my website, but I can't figure out where to go. If you could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Edit:

I've messed around in the File Manager (even uploaded my forum!

) But, I can't figure out how to make a back ground for my website.

Is there some special place I have to upload it?

Huh what are you on about?

If your forum already has a background, just replace it with your new one (under same name and file ext) if it doesnt then you'd need to modify the theme

or if your on about a web website thing, then you just simply point the to the image relatively
(ie if you place it in images/ of the websites folder then youd simply do)

body{
background-image: url(images/background.png);
}

And tada

Thank you! Posted Image

Also, I want like a template for my site. So, it's not just white.

Edit:

I went into code editor and saw tons of figures there. I'm not sure exactly where to enter the code. :S Need to experiment a little more....

A good tip is to use FTP

you can copy files over as if it was from your docs, making it easier to modify stuff

I would take a look at some CSS tutorials first

Or you can simply place what i put up there (the body{} thingy) into style tags in your header

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body{
background-image: url(images/background.png);
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

content goes here

or if you dont want an image you can use a solid colour, just replace background-image: url(images/background.png); with background-color: #HEX; like so

the HEX bit is where you need to use the hex code for the colour

Not too keen on the subject for the website but you should take the time to learn things for yourself without resorting to being told by other users. it takes the fun away from it. That is of course if it doesn't take longer than 2 days of frustration.

Yeah, I'm not too good at it. But, thanks for the tips.

I don't plan on asking so easily now. Posted Image

I'm sorry you don't like our subject, but I play quite a bit of Runescape so it's a good topic for me. Posted Image
