title problems (SOLVED)

Thanks for all of your help so far.  I am slowly but surely learning about all of this.

I am trying to design a site that is very clean and simple. I put a global title in my template but I cannot get rid of the home page and site name that come up automatically. I have tried to style the header to get the sitename to look like the global title but it doesn't change. Can you help me?
My site is maryjaneparkerart.com/cmsms.

Here is my template so far:



{* Change lang="en" to the language of your site *}

{title}-{sitename}
{global_content name='Title'}
{stylesheet}



{menu number_of_levels="1" template="minimal_menu.tpl"}
home





 {cms_selflink dir="start" text="$sitename"}
 

{content}

Your tag is at the wrong spot and a tag is missing.

Try this:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<__html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

<head>
<title>{title}-{sitename}</title>

{stylesheet}
</head>
</__body>

{global_content name='Title'}

<div id="navcontainer">
{menu number_of_levels="1" template="minimal_menu.tpl"}
</div> <!-- end navcontainer -->

<div id="header">
  <h1>{cms_selflink dir="start" text="$sitename"}</h1>
</div> <!-- end header -->

<hr class="accessibility" />

{content}

<__body>

</__html>

Thanks, I pasted the code exactly as you had it and it got rid of the "home" title but it cannot get rid of the underlined site name.

This outputs your underlined sitename
{cms_selflink dir="start" text="$sitename"}

This is where a link to the site would help, underline links is a default behavior of browsers, you need css to change that, I most times use a default template and change what I need to build sites, actually I have an older default install, 1.5.4, I export them from for starters, no comments in template or style sheets...

If you go to layout > templates and hit new template it gives a pretty good start on a template adding all the basic tags, then you have to make a style sheet for it etc...
