Hey guys, I'm relatively new to all of this. I downloaded a template from Searchanyway.com......they allow affiliates to make changes to their search engine templates. I'm sure I haven't gone about it correctly as the changes I've attempted have not had any affect. I was simply using wordpad and looked in the unzipped downloaded template and located an "index" file and a "results" file that indicated "<title>internetsearch<title>"..... I changed the words "internetsearch" to a more appropriate title that I needed for my niche, but no change was affected on the finished search engine once uploaded to the host. I can further see when I open the "image" files they are parsed into different graphics components that make up the final visual product, which of course are graphic in nature. I can clearly see the "internet search" title image not affected by my "index or results file" changes I attempted, not a real surprise, it was probably dumb on my part to think that a text change on notepad, would translate to a "graphics" change on an image template.......but I still don't know how to affect a change.... any suggestions?
If you typed <title>internetsearch<title> Code (markup): like it is in your code then your tag isn't closed. It should look like this: <title>internetsearch</title> Code (markup): all <tags> must be closed or it affects the rest of the page.
thanks faith, I didn't mean to omit what you pointed out, but the </title> is there...... maybe notepad is not the way to edit an image even though it's text?
So all you changed was the Title? Can I see the source code? Notepad is the only way I really like to create a page. It helps me understand it better, so no I don't think it matters that u edited it with notepad. Its not like you were doing a full structure.
