I uploaded some styles from this website.. and they all come with PSD files. I have edited those files to my liking (logo)... but I can't seem to figure out how I can make it show on my website. For example, I uloaded futura2 and I changed those letters of my website. I saved it as a GIF (the psd main file) and uploaded it to my server. It didn't do anything. Could someone tell me step by step on how to do this?
after the editing or opening it up on Adobe Photo Shop. From there, I"m lost.
Thank You so much.. Carmen

You uploaded them to the correct folders and everything via FTP?

If that is the case, it may be your cache. Try hitting CTRL + F5 on your forum, and see if that works. :)

No, didn't work.
I'm going to start from the 1st step.
I've uploaded on my Adobe Shop
(for instance Futura 1)
I am looking the template that has the whole body. I don't see anything in the PSD files that say Logo, so I"m assuming I edit this main template here.
I have it on my website name.
So I save it as a Gif?
I think I save as web then save it as a gif?
Do I rename it to futura1_logo?
or just leave as futura1?


I am soo tired! I think I need go to sleep and wake up again!

The easiest way would be to:

1) open your board in the style you want to substitute the images in

2) right-click on each image in question to get its "Attributes"; that will give you the file name and full server path

3) change the file name on your NEW (edited) image to be the same (absolutely the same -- including case) as the old image file name
(make sure you actually previously saved the file as the correct kind of file, i.e. .gif or .jpg)

4) then FTP upload it to exactly the folder shown to you in (2) for the old image

Call your logo girltalk3_headerlogo.gif and upload it to the girltalk directory
