----INSTRUCTIONS----
----------------//

**Please note that the flickr plugin requires PHP 5.  If you do not have PHP 5 on your server and you install the plugin, you may be left with blank pages! The example at http://www.awesometopic.com/test/ uses the flickr plugin.  The example on the Text Plates server at http://www.textplates.com/browser/28/ uses hard coded images.  Both versions are detailed and commented in the content_sidebar form.**

//Page Templates
All page templates are in the awe_pages.txt file.
1. Replace the contents of the archive, default, and error_default pages with the corresponding content in the awe_pages.txt file. Make sure you save each one!
2. Create a new page (copy another one) called contact and fill it with the contents marked //contact// in the awe_pages.txt file. Save!


//CSS
The CSS for Awesome Topic is located inside the awe_styles.txt file
1. To add this style, go to PRESENTATION --> STYLE.
2. If you'd like to keep a copy of the default style, scroll down to the bottom of the page and select to "copy style as". Give this style a name like "originaldefault".  
3. Insert the contents of the awe_styles.txt file into the default style sheet.
4. Save!

Awesome Topic on a limited number of colors for your modifying convenience:
1. The main background-color #877e68 (light grey/brown)
2. The text color #fffff (white)
3. The link color #FFDC00 (yellow)
4. A darker background (behind links and sidebar and footer) #6d6256 (darker grey/brown)
5. The background of the live search box is a slightly different shade of grey/brown #877e6d
6. And, of course, the accent color in the main navigation #ff0099 (pink!)
*You may notice that some (ok, most) of these colors are not web-safe.  If that doesn't float your boat, swap them out for something that suits your fancy!
