Creating and editing the templates can be a chore and a steep learning curve if you don't do this sort of thing regularly. If you want your templates to look like ours, with a little customization, I will be happy to do them for you. What might take me 15 minutes might take you days of fiddling. Just send me a request with your customization needs. rc@ayso26.org
Art Work The art work files are attached to this page. The header and the page background are in the same files. The site settings to the right fit these graphics, and overlay the menu activity and the left side-bar widgets correctly on the screen. Generally, I create the original artwork in Keynote, transfer it to Photoshop for accurate clipping and exporting as a graphic png file, complete with whatever transparency is needed. For the page header and background no transparency is used. Note that editing and viewing of the web site works best in Chrome. I use Safari. IE is spotty, and does not show many of the nuances, such as not rendering the buttons in the menu correctly. If you are a regular user of IE and you want to see what it really looks like, try Safari, Firefox or Chrome. ayso-header.key This is a Keynote file used to generate the original artwork. For you Mac users, you can start here and have the mostest fun. ayso-header.ppt For you unfortunate Windows users, this is a reasonable facsimile. I fired up a virtual machine with Windows on it and checked it. Seems ok. ayso-header.psd This file is a photoshop file of our header. It is pasted as a graphic from the Keynote file, and then cropped. | Settings - Colors and Fonts Base Theme - Blank Slate Entire Page Page background color - #ccddea Page background image - download,
