Greetings,

How do you feel about the kind of advertising campaign that invites you to reevaluate your perspective by suggesting that what you had yesterday isn’t good enough for today?

If you’ve only seen this once then you’ve not really seen it?

I don’t really care much for that form of marketing myself. I just wanted to get that out of the way prior to getting into this entry.

If you’ve not seen our templates recently; you haven’t really seen them all

Templates

We’ve been releasing new templates on an ongoing basis. If you’ve been a Website Tonight owner for years, and are happy with how it looks, then now would be a good time to catch up on shredding your junk mail.

Otherwise read on.

Our talented team of designers works hard to get these templates looking this good. However, it’s free to look at the new templates. No sales person will call and you may just find that we’ve used one, or more, of your suggestions. From time to time check back to see the latest designs

You can get to this from the Design tab and then select Template and color. Change the category to new and browse to “What’s new.”

Having dispensed kudos in the direction of the design team, I’m obligated to point out that the program developers work hard giving you the ability to modify the templates to your liking.

Advanced Style Options (CSS)

We’ve added the much requested Advanced Style Options feature within Website Tonight.

What is it?

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet, which is a markup language that defines the look, feel, and style of a webpage. With this you can change fonts, layouts, colors and quite a bit more. It’s a new choice within the design menu that enables site owners to override the template’s design and radically affect the look and layout of the template by providing CSS code of their own.

Why do I want it?

There are many style elements that you may wish to add to your WST site that would require you to open up every content block and locally change the style. For instance, many people have asked for a border around the content blocks.

If you want a template in a color scheme that we don’t offer, you can alter one of ours.

What else should I know?

You have to have the Apply box checked for any changes to be displayed.

You don’t have to copy the entire read only view. Copy only those elements that you wish to change.

What now?

Start creating! I’m really interested to see how our users will use this feature. If you have an interesting layout that you’ve styled using this feature we’d love to see it. I’ll be posting more on how to use this feature over the coming weeks. In the meantime, I suggest this resource to assist you in getting started with CSS.

Coming up.

Getting started with CSS.
