After years of turmoil and lawsuits starting an Online Country Store, a dream of Nelson to bring to the world the products and services of New England, in the traditions of a Frugal Swamp Yankee (Rhode Islander), Nelson drawing from his traditional Frugal Yankee up-bringing is pleased to bring the world the sites:  www.YankeeBargains.com and www.YankeeBargain.com 

To do it, all you have to do is open the file named "main.htm". I strongly suggest that you NOT change the <STYLE></STYLE> content whatsoever! If you do, you might affect the look of your template.

Always remember that when working with iFrames it is extremely important that you change the page source name in your code so that the correct pages will open.

You do this by opening the "home.htm" file and finding this line of code :

<iframe frameborder="0" height="550" width="380" id="main" name="main" scrolling="yes" src="main.htm">Replacement Text For Non-Rendering Browsers</iframe>

The ONLY part of this code line you will need to change is this :

src="main.htm"

Replace "main.htm" file name with whatever you new page file name is. Like this : src="your-page.htm" . Now your new page will open correctly!

Remember, you MUST do this for each new page you create. The main links are already done for you so you don't have to worry about that.

Have Fun!!
Making Changes To This Template

If you are just beginning with HTML, it is recommended that you not do too much tinkering with this template as it is quite complicated.

There are a few things that SHOULD NOT be changed. Here is a list :

1. Don't change the <DIV></DIV> settings for the iFrame content. It is set exactly the way it should be so that the backgrounds match as closely as possible. Changing it could affect the way your page looks.

2. Don't change the <STYLE> BODY { settings are here } </STYLE>. This will affect the way your page looks. However, if you would like to ADD MORE STYLE ELEMENTS, by all means DO! The BODY portion of the STYLE tag is what makes the background image STAY PUT! Some things will look funny in your HTML or WYSIWYG EDITOR, but it will look fine when you view it in your browser window.


Simple adding of pages and links should be no problem. Also changing link colors and text changes would be fine too. Remember, these are just suggestions to help you with this type of a template. These are NOT rules or anything of that nature.
