Hey,

I wanna code a Template for my Users and I wanna hand it out for free. But now I got a huge problem.

I used a pattern in the footer and in the Navigation. Now I have no clue how to code these two in a way that ppl can edit them very easy later on..

As I said it`ll be a free Template, so there will be a lot of ppl without good knowledge of css that`ll use and customise it.

Is there anyone with a good hint for me?

Here`s the Design I am talking about: (Font will be Arial in the final version, not helvetica compressed)

I am not sure I understand the question fully, but by "pattern" I assume you mean the 2 images that make up the background of the header and footer?

If you mean the user can input their own images there...
I would just comment the CSS for the header and footer background image VERY clearly for the user to change the file name to their new image. And remind the user to make sure their image is the proper width and height.

#header {
background-image:url(header_image.jpg); /* REPLACE header_image.jpg WITH YOUR IMAGE NAME */
}

I realize you say they won't have clear knowledge of CSS but if someone uses a template and wants to customize it, their going to need some knowledge of CSS.

Kinda hard to explain what I mean.. I guess I`ll take another look at that problem tomorrow and post the result here..
