CMS Made Simple Forums

My site is currently at www.wdclub.com/cmsmadesimple

I would like to do the following

adjust footer
adjust footer color
change logo
change header color to black

Last but not the least,

change current URL structure to SEO friendly: /topic/name etc

and finallys steps to how to move it to my main directory instead of /cmsmadesimple

If you look at the text on every page except the home page, because I'm using a table. I would like the text to not stick to the edge like it does. I deleted the sidebar code but don't know what it is. If you can post it, that would be great. I'll copy and paste than readjust it.

Also, would it be possible to get a professional looking contact us form. I think mambo has it.

Mambo by the way SUCKS! CMS made simple is so KICK ASS!

Just the changes above will give my business a new look and I'll be up and running.

and I did all this in 2 days thanks to this cms and your help! Unbelievable!

I was so looking for a great CMS, this CMS better get famous FAST cuz it deserves it!

Hiya!

A lot of your questions are answered in the documentation and on other messages on the forum, so try poking around a bit and doing some searches - when I was first setting up CMSMadeSimple I could find the answer to almost everything I needed to know that way.

You can do all this by making adjustments in the stylesheets. The nice thing with CMSMadeSimple is that you can try different things, see how it looks, and change it back if you don't like it. If you look around the forum, you'll finds lots of advice on adjusting your stylesheets.

change logo

The default templates put the logo URL in the stylesheets as well - look for it as the background image in the CSS for the header.

change current URL structure to SEO friendly: /topic/name etc

There's a tag that makes a simple contact form (look in the Tag menu of your CMS Admin for instructions) or you can download the Feedback Form (or Form Builder) module to create your own fancier ones:

Hope this helps get you started! Have fun!

Wow! Thank you for all the info - its all  SPOT ON - however,

just one thing will set me free, I was playing around with my style sheet for a long time but I still couldn't find how to indent the text.

I just don't want it to stick to the edge - here is an example:

Thank you so much for your help! You RULE!

Thanks

By indent I assume you mean to have some whitespace in front of your text.  In your stylesheet, set the padding to an amount that gives you the room you want.  For instance: padding: .5em; will put a half em space around your text.
