Editing the index page
25/06/07 17:19
I haven't figured out
all of the ins and outs of this, but you can edit the
index page of your chosen theme. This is pretty nifty
as it allows you to put html code that will affect
every page using that theme. To do this, open the
"Themes" tray (in 3.6, that's the little button on
the bottom, next to the "Publish" button), and
right-click the theme you want to edit. If you're
editing the theme you're actually using, it's a good
idea to make a copy by selecting "Duplicate Theme"
before you start mucking around with it. Once you've
made the copy, select "Show Contents". This will open
a folder in the Finder. Find the "index.html" file
and open it with your favorite editor. I use
BBEdit, but TextWrangler or any other text editor will
work just fine. From there, you can edit the theme
to your heart's content.
For most things, you're probably better off using "Site Setup" from within RapidWeaver. You can put html code into the Copyright or Email fields. That will affect all pages on the site (not just the ones using a particular theme), and it doesn't involve risky edits to the theme index page. But for those situations where you really do want to edit the theme, it's nice to know that it's possible.
