§ Changing Templates.

You can use this screen to make changes to your templates, or add whole new templates altogether. This is just a way to edit files in your pivot/templates/ folder, so you can use other editors for this if you'd like.

If you look at the names, you see two sets of prefixes on the filenames:

_aux_...: These are auxillary templates, that have a special function. You can edit these, but you should not delete them.

_sub_..: It's good practice to label the templates that are used to display weblogs on your frontpage with the _sub_ prefix. This way you can always see whicht files are complete html documents, and which files are intended to be repeated several times inside another template.

You can also see that there's a css file in the templates folder. For pivot to function correctly it can also be somewhere else, but you might find it convenient to keep it in the templates/ folder, so you can easily edit it from within pivot.

TIP: if you are having trouble editing or adding templates, make sure that the templates/ folder is chmodded correctly!
