I download a free layout from a site and I opened it up, has loads of folders, pictures etc. How do I put the layout onto a site? Can you do it on freewebs as I have a premium freewebs account..

Thx xx

Hey,

I believe you would just simply upload everything you are told to (In most free layouts there is a readme telling you what needs to be uploaded)

Only problem with freewebs is that uploading is quite slow (Well it was when I used it last)

I would suggest maybe trying to get some free cPanel Hosting and then a .tk or other free domain :)

But yeah, Hope I helped a little.

there should be a file called index.html <- this is what you edit
and a folder called images, Upload the images folder and index.html n any other files such as index1.html, style, CSS etc. And it should be up onto ur site

Freewebs doesn't extract zips, well they didnt last time i checked. so you're going to have to recreate the directorys and upload the files one by one.

Hope This Helps

Just upload all the files..I've never used freewebs but see if you can upload using a FTP client then just drag and drop all files into public_html

Zip these:
Images
Style
Index.html
Saltandsoap but not the 'fonts'

Upload it to freewebs extract it, you will need the images for the layout otherwise you will only see the writing only lol.

Pretty easy, you should get free cPanel.

Hey,

There doesnt seem to be an images folder, You need to upload your images folder (If you have already thats unusual)

in the file manager thing it says

"DO NOT UPLOAD FILES HERE, please upload into the ethelvontrell.byethost13.com then htdocs folder for the domain ethelvontrell.byethost13.com"

So I uploaded all the files into there, is there another place for the images?

if you have ftp log onto the ftp then go to the public_html folder then create a folder named images then upload all the image files into it?

womanizer

Have no idea about that, sorry, have you uploaded all the images? o.O

and why do you have the title saved as

<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> &raquo; Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>

o.O
