Hi
I'm new to website building so i thought i was gonna download a free template to start with, but i cant get them to work.
I'm using dreamweaver but i don't know how to get the templates "in" to the system.
Help me please.

    oki then....
    so, inside dreamweawer you open the index.html file
    what ain`t working ?
    what do you mean that you can`t get the template "in the system"?
    is the template looking al;l text and no images? in this case you need to open the stylesheet (the .css file) that comes with it...

    any other details would be helpful for helping you

      I did all that but when i open the file i just get text.
      But i can only see it in the code "section" and i cant change to split or design, and i cant preview in broser either.

    well.. when yo download a html template, you should download some archieve, a .zip or smth...
    in that zip, there should be, usually, a file called index.html, one called "style.css" and one folder called "images". that is the most simple standard template structure...

    if that one doesn`t work either, there is smth wron with your dreamweaver settings...

    there is no such thing as to "implement a template" when you are talking about simple htmls sites.

    you just grab the code, edit it, change the pics, change the css and done, a whole new website

    i don`t believe writing a tutorial is worth the time, especially since your DW is broken. You can always find on the internet tutorials on how to edit sites with dreamweaver
