Yes... Although it may even be possible to edit external templates with BlockBuilder too - if they follow the SBI CSS format specified for iDesign3, as Curtis mentioned. Ours will, so I guess that opens us up to BB users too, when the new version is implemented by SBI.

So that said, Rebecca I'll probably be contacting you regarding one of your parter's templates. |
Agreed. Go with HTML, it is definitely worth it!! And you can PM me if you need to talk templates.

Go to the
Copyscape website and it will search your site for duplicate content on the web. Then click the "defend against plaigarism" link and they give you lots of graphics to use. I must have read about this is SBI's TNT section.

I copied and pasted the legal bits from a similar site, then changed the names and references to my site. It's the done thing, apparently

Ah.... yes, kind of! For instance:
Lucid Dreaming Techniques: A Guide To Lucid Dream Induction is a Tier 2, with T3s linking off. I just like to link to my T3's on the main menu as well to give people a full flavor of the site without having to dig. I haven't heard any wisdom to the contrary (yet) and think it's still easy enough to navigate with the drop down element.
