Default Baby Steps

Hello All
I dont know if this is the right thread but... I just signed up for the small reseller package and I need someone to answer a basic question. I think it must be basic because I couldnt find anyone talking about it. I downloaded a template from the free websites templates page. I got it to my hard drive as a .zip file. I uploaded it into cpanel using file manager, unzipped it there and put it in public_html. However my website doesnt show the new site/template. I put index.html in the public_html like I read on another post.

Inside of that zip file there are different version of the website. You only choose one. I will type up a guide for you and have in ready in about 5 minutes.

Hello bbjordan
I must be leaving out a step. I just put flash.fla, flash.swf, and index.html in the public_html folder and now I get a blank screen when I go to the site. BTW my site is www.jopawo.com. Do I need to remove something thats already in public_html or do the flash files need their own folder??

The problem is that the source code in the index.html is calling the file at "flash/flash.swf". You would need to move the flash files to a folder called flash inside of your public_html folder or change the source code to just call "flash.swf" (without the flash/ in front) so that it will load. I tried editting the source code using FireFox and it does load correctly if I change that code.
