hiya thanx for your responses, that was the only way i was able to edit the front page by compiling the template. i am now trying to edit the header of the site and all i get is this code:
{*
$Id: head.tpl,v 1.20 2009/06/05 11:46:27 joy Exp $
vim: set ts=2 sw=2 sts=2 et:
*}
<div class="line1">
<div class="logo">
<a href="{$catalogs.customer}/home.php"><img src="{$ImagesDir}/xlogo.gif" alt="" /></a>
</div>
{include file="customer/tabs.tpl"}
{include file="customer/phones.tpl"}
</div>
<div class="line2">
{if $main ne "fast_lane_checkout"}
{include file="customer/search.tpl"}
{include file="customer/language_selector.tpl"}
{else}
{include file="modules/Fast_Lane_Checkout/head.tpl"}
{/if}
</div>
{include file="customer/noscript.tpl"}
how do i edit the main page so that the orange bar is at the top of the page as i have just bought a nav template which will go just below it.. i thought this was supposed to be easy to edit, i am having trouble trying to do anything.. there isn't much help with a tutorial or if there is i cant find it
