I thought I knew how....but I can not seem to change the original backround template. The one I selected to start with is not going to work for me & I would prefer just to have a plain black background on the entire site. Can someone please clue me in on where I can edit this?
Thank you.

It depends on whether you want to edit the HTML or the CSS

HTML:
Quote
<body bgcolor="black">

CSS:
Quote
<style type="text/css">
body {background-color: black}
</style>

NOTE: if you are using a seperate .css file you won't need the <style> tags

Code:
body {
  background:black;
}

I'm not sure what I did wrong. I am not finding the 110MB website builder as easy to use as I thought. When I started, I selected a template...added a title & a photo successfully...but then found the design not set up well for the pics I uploaded...but I could not find a way to change it. I read some other posts & read the help file as well & thought I understood what to edit in the file manager...but now when I try to "Preview Website" to see my changes, all I get is a blank white page that says "Invalid template!" in tiny print in the upper left corner? Any idea what I can do now?

Umm, sorry grace, someone else will have to help with that...

I make my own pages so I really have no idea how the site builder works. wink

Where is the original template from, is this via site builder? Not sure what you've done, if I go into your site I just see the <body> html (what file is this?), if I display your index.php file I'm getting "Invalid Template!".

If you're using the site builder, I don't think you can edit the supplied php files easily.

How much work have you done on your site? If not much, may be easier to repeat step 1 to select a template and start again, rather than trying to debug this!

If it's not Site Builder, what template are you using?

I did definatly use the site builder....I di NO work....just uploaded one photo & then tried to change the template & obviously did it WRONG?
What you suggested " repeat step 1 to select a template and start again, rather than trying to debug this!" is exactly what I was TRYING to do....HOW or WHERE do I do this correctly? I can't seem to find that option available! Thanks for your patience & your advice:)

Sign on to 110mb, you'll see:

STEP 1: Start Site Builder Now!  (choose the site template.)

STEP 2: Site Builder Admin Panel  (add content & widgets, customize pages.)

If you select step 1, you should be able to repeat the process of selecting your template and overwrite your existing files.
