Modify Website Template

On this page you can configure the visual look of your site. You can choose a predefined Style Template, or create your own custom settings. You may also save a custom template you created for later retrieval, so you can experiment with different looks without losing one you like.

• At the top of the page you can see information about your disk usage and quota.
• In the Global Site Settings, you can modify the following:

  Item:	Description:
  Style Template	Choose a pre-defined style template from this dropdown. Note: if you are currently using custom settings (with !!! Custom !!! selected as the style template) and you select a pre-defined template and click Save Changes, your custom settings will be lost unless you previously saved your custom template. Saving a custom template is easy and can be done when you are in Custom mode by giving your template a name at the bottom of the page in the field labeled Save a Copy of this Custom Template and click the Save Changes button. Conversely, if you already have a pre-defined style applied but you wish to use custom settings, you must select the !!! Custom !!! style template and click Save Changes prior to making individual changes.
