SETUP INSTRUCTIONS:

Basic Set-Up
------------------
1) Start up your FTP program.
2) Copy indextemplate.html and dailytemplate.html to your /workspace folder.
3) Copy the contents of the /images folder to your /workspace/images folder.

This is all you need to get a basic version of Ocean Blue working. Trigger a manual update from http://siteadmin.keenspace.com and you're done.


OPTIONALS

Creating the archive page
-----------------------------------
1) Copy archive.html to /workspace/webpages

You can also make additional cast, galleries and links pages by modifying copies of archive.html.

The Optional Navbar
-----------------------------
The Nav Bar will allow you to link to your extras pages, which are the following:

Archive - This links to /archive.html
		
		You can use this to link to you archive page for easy navigation. For a premade archives page to match this theme, click here. After you save the code, upload to /workspace/webpages

Cast - This links to /cast.html

		You can link to your cast page from here. I can't make this for you, so you'll have to do it yourself. Feel free to cannibalise the sample archive code above for this purpose.

	Links - This links to /links.html
		A links page is always essential, so link to your favourite sites here and build some karma!

Email - Insert your email address to where it says so so your readers have a handy-dandy way to contact you!


Naturally it doesn't HAVE to link to these links, so if you know your HTML feel free to change the link locations.

Activating the Navbar
------------------------------
By default the Nav bar is hidden by a couple of comment tags. To remove the tags, open up the indextemplate code in your text editor and search for the following HTML code:


<!--REMOVE FOR NAVIGATION

and

REMOVE FOR NAVIGATION-->

Delete both portions of code and save.
Upload the indextemplate to your /workspace folder, and trigger an update as before.


MAKING MODIFICATIONS TO OCEAN BLUE

Changing the background
------------------------------------
1) Search for the following line in the template code:

background: #005B7F url(/images/waves.gif) repeat;

Replace "/images/waves.gif" with the path to the image you want to tile in the background. If you don't want a background image remove "url(/images/waves.gif) repeat" altogether;

Changing the colours of the text/background
------------------------------------------------------------
Anything with the hash (#) symbol in front signifies a colour code. Fore example, the background colour for Ocean Blue is  #005B7F. Replace " #005B7F" with whatever hexadecimal value you want for the background colour. Repeat for other values in the links, text etc.
