Ok. So I read everything in the Spacer's Gear, studied up on HTML, managed to download the indextemplate and dailytemplate, edited them to look all prettyful and shiney, put them back in the FTP triggered an update and.....it's all down hill from there.
I edited the HTML code to have the background be black and the text be a purple color. The font is supposed to be Papyrus, and there are supposed to be links right above the comic. but take a look here--> http://dice.comicgenesis.com/d/20051222.html and see what it looks like.... I'm soooo confused. Look at the bottom of the page. The *site name* is hosted by comicgenesis a blah blah blah thingy is there twice. the second time it's in Papyrus but still not the right color. and if you go to the last page the last few words in it are there like 4 times!
The thing that is confusing me the most is that when I veiw them from the files on my computer they look perfect! But when I go to it here..well...you know....I don't know if I made any sense at all, but if anyone can help PLEASE REPLY!!

Yup. That would give you the "Hosted by" message twice. Did you copy-paste something and save it that way? I also notice the floating "r***". Again, looks like a copy-paste error. Just go into your ftp and delete the first instance of "Hosted by" from your indextemplate.
I can't see any place where you have color schemes on there.... in fact, the body tage seems to have disappeared altogether. Are you sure you saved the right indextemplate to your FTP, and there's not a more complete one on your PC?
This is going in my notebook titled "Things I Didn't Know about Surface Dwellers."
That's the weird thing. I didn't copy and paste anything I typed it all by hand and I assure you that I only typed the Hosted by thing once. I have no idea what the r*** is doing there, nor how it got there. I'm also quite sure I uploaded the correct file. don't know were the body tag went either....
Is this code consistant with the one in your dailytemplate (after keentags are processed, of course)? And is the dailytemplate in your FTP consistant with the dailytemplate on your PC?
In other words, check the daily and indextemplates on your PC to see if they have the same problems. If not, simply delete the ones in your FTP now and reupload the templates. If they do have the problems, simply fix the mistakes. You know html, so simply redo what you did before. It might also be a good idea to post the codes of you templates here.
