Appoligies ahead of time for elementary questions, but I'm a Frontpage basic user with limited experience designing web pages. I am used to the "modify" theme or template design in FP and lost with this program's means of modifying a theme or even creating a new template design. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Nudiscoveries

You will find FP to be more of a hindrance than a help with OR templates. If you want to learn to modify a template study the code of a basic template such as vertical-menu. You will also need to learn basic css. If you don't want to or are unable to devote time to learn then the next best choice is to look for an inexpensive template that meets your needs. I have seen templates from free to $100 or more. Search the template directories you will be surprised at what you find.

Thank you Aden. I have some time to study and learn, however I need to move forward with getting this site up and running. I tried to load the html of the FP home page I designed into the edit screen to see how it turned out, and amazingly enough it showed up reasonably well. the background didn't come through or the logo, ie the FT template doesn't transfer into OR. From there I didn't know how to go further. There should be a decent editor or creator for PHP for newbies similar to the FP, that will assist in design from an elementary chair rather than learning code. If you have any suggestions please let me know and thanks again for your reply.
