Default Sheer cheek
I know this is a bit of a liberty since I've only just joined, but I *would* like some assistance if possible.

For want of a better word I 'created' a site using Joomla 1.5 for a group of young kids who wanted to start a site covering the whole of ice skating in Australia.

I called it 'Australian Ice Skating'... as you would... and loaded a forum into Joomla, and a few words to make it look 'acceptable'. The content should really be up to them... though of course I'll probably end up writing most of it! I think they want to chat in the forum about skating!!

Thing is that now I look at it the basic theme is really daggy and I don't really know where to start making a sensible logo to represent the site focus... Australian ice skating. I got as far as pasting a couple of ice skate outlines on an Australian flag shaped like Os... and realised I was out of my depth!

The site is 'Welcome to the Frontpage' and a few tips would be *very* much appreciated! If anyone could come up with a logo as well... I'd be ecstatic as would the kids!

Edit: Not sure how it shows 'Welcome to the Frontpage' - it should read 'http://australianiceskating.com'!!

It takes your title tag which would be the first thing to change on the site.

IF you want a logo I'm afraid paying is the only way to get it done right.

As for a joomla skin there's plenty of pretty decent free ones on the net it's just a matter of searching. Good luck

No worries... just looking for a few 'tips' to set me off in the right direction. I have another site New Page 1 which I've had for 10 years and has never had any sort of logo on it because I'm somewhat deficient in the clue department! It's old timers disease I suppose! :)

Edit: Aha... that'd 'New Page 1' would be the title tag thing as well? I'm good at this stuff! :)

If you edit your head template..

HTML Code:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=WINDOWS-1252">
<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>
Edit the title tag and it will sort it out

Of course... I had originally been asking about the ice skating site... but I am so impressed!! lol The ODPS will never be the same again!

Can I actually use this by the way?? Do you have a 'donations' page somewhere?? (sorry if that sounds rude... it is just *so* well done I feel I ought to say thanks somehow)

Edit: have to say it again... wow!!
