First modified template. :o)

As I wanted to completely integrate all of my school course internet site into Sandvox I needed to find a template that I could use for the Christmas project. (Each project has its own style since each project has a very different theme.) Not finding anything suitable, I decided to take the Serengeti template and modify it to suit my needs since it had pretty much the correct colour scheme for type and menus, green and crimson. I followed the instructions in the help section to create a new template from a copy of the old. Having no experience in CSS, I decided to just change the different elements such as the background image, the thumbnail, the default banner etc. using Photoshop elements. It worked out quite well and really didn’t take too much technical knowhow. So here is the site.

It really came up good. It can't be said that you didn't worked on the CSS and is done just by changing background and banner. Well done.

Here's my modified "Summertime" Theme.

The template looks nice, but I think you could make the header image a bit smaller while the menu could use a little more size to it. Also, the color are a bit boring and the shapes too..

Like what you have done.  You need to adjust the photo timing as it just blows right by..

I've changed my theme. I modified 'Behind the White Rabbit, "Sugar" ' theme. I made it a dark grey to compliment the photos I have.
I'm not entirely happy with it yet, but I'm still tinkering.
