Thanks gb2world. I have been editing with photoshop and uploading with ftp. I think I have traced the file. I have been finding threads and learning. I just don't know how to change the $admin_safe_mode" to unlock the template.
I have cleared the cache of browsers.
I did find my browser was not showing popups, which was why teh web master thing was not working.
But I still don't know what I'm supposed to look for, and trying to find the $admin_safe_mode".
I was told taht I could use x-cart with some minor changes to images, and I'm having not problem using the rest of the templated system.
I have some experience with Dreamweaver, but this is idiosyncratic without adequate documentation to lead a beginner through some minor customisations.. Like the main banner on the main page. Thats all I want to do.
If someone could just point me in the right direction. I'm wading thorugh forums and not finding what I need. I'd really appreciate it. sorry if I sound frustrated. I am.
thanks so much
