An 'Heads Up'
Ning To Jamroom
Pam Givens"]
humm...sorry. I didn't save that change cause I thought it was probably not correct. I would like to add a page for Artist Spotlight. If I can figure that out then I can add some of the other navigation items.
Thanks again
Pam
P.S. I know it's not your job to teach me coding

Above we are talking about how to add a link to a page. its just this:
<li><a href="{$jamroom_url}/artists-spotlight">Artists Spotlight</a></li>But thats just a link to a location. You also need to create what is supposed to be there at that location, so you need a new template file too.
So what you want is to create a file:
/skins/
(YOUR SKIN)/artist-spotlight.tpl
That is what will show when you go to the url:
http://YOUR-SITE.com/artists-spotlight
Right now that file doesn't exist, so you will get a "Page not found" error.
You can play around with saving stuff, it might break sometimes but that's how you learn. Breaking is nothing to worry about, it can always be fixed. So have a play.
What you need inside that artist-spotlight.tpl is some code to tell the page what to do.
If you look at the index.tpl file that already exists in your skin it will look something like this:
{jrCore_include template="header.tpl"}
{jrCore_include template="footer.tpl"}
That's where you would design the page to make "Artist Spotlight" have the stuff you wanted in it.
(The site builder's aim is so you don't have to do this stuff. It will be here soon.)
