Make a folder to contain the mirror directory you plan on using on your site. I say mirror directory structure because this will help you to maintain all paths for files and images in the same relationship they must have online to work.



Editing a template is just like making a web page from scratch so maybe the following will help.

If tripod gives you access to the html of your custom page, you can just open up index.html with a text editor such as notepad and copy and paste the code into your web page.



Then your page should look exactly like the template.



To edit it you can just go into the code and find the places where you want text or pictures and put those in.
