------------------------INSTALLATION--------------------------------------

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

1.) Most Important Installation instruction I could ever give, BACKUP YOUR CURRENT SITE!  You never know when something could go awry and you will be wishing you had taken that opportunity to back up the site.



PAGES

1.) Unzip the file that contains the site.  

2.) Open the images folder and copy all of the images from that folder to your default Textpattern images folder

3.) Open default.html in your favorite editor (from notepad to Dreamweaver) and select all of the code.

4.) Go to the Textpattern Admin backend and click on Presentation --> Pages.

5.) Delete all the current code and paste the code from default.html in the textbox.  Click Save to update your changes.

6.) Open archive.html in your favorite editor and select all of the code.

7.) Go to the Textpattern Admin backend and click on Presentation --> Pages and click on the archive link to the side of the textbox.

8.) Delete all the current code and paste the code from archive.html in the textbox.  Click Save to update your changes.

9.) Open error.html in your favorite editor and select all of the code.

10.) Go to the Textpattern Admin backend and click on Presentation --> Pages and click on the error_default link to the side of the textbox.

11.) Delete all the current code and paste the code from error.html in the textbox.  Click Save to update your changes.

CSS

1.) Open the style.css from the style folder in your favorite CSS editor (again Notepad will do just fine). and select and copy all of the code inside.

2.) Go to the Textpattern Admin backend and click on Presentation --> Style.

3.) Delete all the current code and paste the code from style.css in the textbox.  Click Save to update your changes.

FORMS

1.) Locate recent_lists.html in the forms folder and open it in an html editor, select and copy all of the code.

2.) Go to the Textpattern Admin backend and click on Presentation --> Forms.

3.) Click "Create New Form" and paste the code in the textbox.

4.) Name the form "recent_list" under form name and make it an article form type and click save.

5.) Click on the Form search_results and replace tha code with code from the file search_results.html found in the forms folder and click save.

6.) Click on the Form default (or it is the default form that opens up when you first get to the form admin section) and replace tha code with code from the file article.html found in the forms folder and click save.

Thats it, you are finished from the installtion standpoint.  Follow the steps below to add a flickr badge to your site (like what is currently coded into this template).

FLICKR BADGE

1.) Open a flickr account

2.) follow the step by step to create the badge here: http://www.flickr.com/badge_new.gne    ((Choose No Syles if you plan on creating your own layout, like what I have done))

3.) Copy the Javascript given and paste it where the Javascript in the default code is.  

4.) Test it out, thats all there is to it.
