You need to open the template in dreamweaver or some like program, and edit it there, then upload it to the server on your hosting site.

How to i get this template to be on my website?



To get your website to show up under your domain name you first need to go and get filezilla. You should be able to search it an get a free download, might wanna try www.download.com an see if they have it, download is free and all programs guaranteed to not have spyware or malware. Then you need to open up filezilla. Then you need to go back to the email freehostia first sent you welcoming you and look for FTP information. Then you need to type that information into filezilla. With Filezilla open you need to click file and then site manager. Once in site manager put the ftp host in host . then for login put it in user type and for password type the password.Click the logon type as normal and click connect. Once you connect you will see 2 folders click on the folder with the name of your website. Once clicked find one of the files your useing for your site and drag it into filezilla (under the folder you just opened) and there you go. If you need more help with filezilla go here http://www.latech.edu/tech/rural/website... As of the customize the text you have to open the unzipped folder and look for index, then open the index in whatever program you use to edit your site. It might also come with a style.css file, that is another way to edit your site. If you need any help with editing or just knowing have any questions with html or css i recommend checking out http://w3schools.com/.They tell you almost everyone on html and on css, and might help you to understand how the template you have works. But i hope this helps.
