About: 
-------------------------------------

This small project is designed for a quick and easy template for new web sites. Need to create a new site in a flash? Just upload these files to your server and edit away. Instructions are included below! This site layout uses your typical header/content/footer layout so that all you have to do is create the layout of your site once and edit the content as needed. 


Included Files:
-------------------------------------

index.php  			This file generates php session and includes each file to create a webpage.
content.php 		Your custom content goes here! 
footer.php 			Site footer code. Closing tags, contact bits, copyright, and so forth.
header.php 			Site header code. Opening tags, script & stylesheet links, and so forth.
site_settings.php   Basic site globals are declared here. Make sure you edit this to fit your site!
css/main.css 		Your default stylesheet.
code/methods.php 	php Methods used to make this work
code/scripts.js 	Local JavaScript files


Adding Additional pages
-------------------------------------

To add additional pages to your website you'll need to do the following:

	1. Create two new files
	2. Copy the contents of index.php and content.php into these new files
	3. Change line 16 of the new index.php file - include("content.php"); - to match your new content page's filename.
	4. Save the new files and link to them however you desire! Your header+footer code will be attached automatically.
