1st release version - 27 may, 2004

This is the first release of this template. There's not an awful lot to say i hope, but a few important notes are here, for example should you wish to change the header.

There's no restrictions on use or editing all I'd ask is that the link to my site in the footer remains, cheers!

I'm assuming you know how to install a skin, if you don't try InvisionThings for advice.

Making your own header

Included in the Leadbelly.zip is a folder (leadbelly-tar-logo-readme). Inside this folder is the Leadbelly.tar to install the skin, as well as a sliced logo PSD in a zip and a readme. Evidently you found it or you couldn't be reading this. :-D

If you don't know how to use a PSD i guess you'll need to find out, but if you do it's pre sliced.

Complete change

You could completely replace the header strip with your own images, but in that case you need to remember to edit the Leadbelly.css from your admin panel to reflect the height of your replacement images. You can also rename the images used for the tileing background and logo there. Another thing t bear in mind is that the imagery in the header (logo and head-tile gifs) also make up the top border of the whole board.

Look for this section to make your changes in -

#head {
background-color : transparent;
background-image : url(style_images/<#IMG_DIR#>/head-tile.gif);
background-repeat : repeat-x;
}

.head-left {
background-image : url(style_images/<#IMG_DIR#>/logo.gif);
background-repeat : no-repeat;
height : 92px;
text-align: right;
}

As you can see the "height:92px" would need changed to suit how tall you want the header to be. It should be pretty obvious how to chose the name of the two images in the header also.

Alternately you could remove the logo image from the css, insert it into the header html and remove the height line from the css.

A few last notes

Sorry about the general mess of code etc. There's certainly unneeded code and css floating around and unneeded images in the leadbelly directory. Hey it's free. :D
