--HELP FILE TEMPLATE-- myTheme Created: x/x/xxxx By: Your Name Contact Info: optional Thank you for purchasing my theme. If you have any questions that are beyond the scope of this help file, please feel free to email, via my user page contact form. Thanks so much! --TABLE OF CONTENTS-- A) HTML Structure B) CSS Files C) Javascript D) PSD Files E) PHP Code Explanation - depends on your theme F) Flash - depends on your theme. G) API usage? - depends on your theme. H) Any additional unique features that need an overview ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A) HTML Structure This theme is a fixed layout with two columns. All of the information within the main content area is nested within a div with an id of "primaryContent". The sidebar's (column #2) content is within a div with an id of "secondaryContent". If you would like to edit the color, font, or style of any elements in one of these columns, you would do the following: #primaryContent a { color: #someColor; } If you find that your new style is not overriding, it is most likely because of a specificity problem. Scroll down in your CSS file and make sure that there isn't a similar style that has more weight. I.E. #wrap #primaryContent a { color: #someColor; } So, to ensure that your new styles are applied, make sure that they carry enough "weight" and that there isn't a style lower in the CSS file that is being applied after yours. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B) CSS I'm using two CSS files in this theme. The first one is a generic reset file. Many browser interpret the default behavior of html elements differently. By using a general reset CSS file, we can work round this. This file also contains some general styling, such as anchor tag colors, font-sizes, etc. Keep in mind, that these values might be overridden somewhere else in the file. The second file contains all of the specific stylings for the page. The file is separated into sections using: /* Main Section */ some code /* Footer */ some code etc, etc. If you would like to edit a specific section of the site, simply find the appropriate label in the CSS file, and then scroll down until you find the appropriate style that needs to be edited. Any images that are placed within the blog section have 5px worth of padding and a light bluish background. If you would like to edit the display of these images, find the following section in the style sheet: #primaryContent #blog img { change styles here: } -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C) Javascript This theme imports three Javascript files. 1) jQuery 2) My custom scripts 3) Some plugin 1) jQuery is a Javascript library that greatly reduces the amount of code that you must write. 2) Most of the animation in this site is carried out from the customs scripts. There are a few functions worth looking over. [some Javascript goes here...along with an general explanation] [some Javascript goes here...along with an general explanation] [some Javascript goes here...along with an general explanation] 3) In addition to the custom scripts, I implement a few "tried and true" plugins to create the effects. This plugin is packed, so you won't need to manually edit anything in the file. The only necessary thing to know is how to call the method. For example: [some Javascript goes here...along with an general explanation] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D) PSD Files I've included three psds with this theme: 1) The main layout 2) The header 3) The buttons If you'd like to change the main image in the header, open "header.psd", make the necessary adjustments, and then save the file as "headerBG.png". Do the same for the buttons. Include any more specific information about your psds. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once again, thank you so much for purchasing this theme.
