Manage Templates in Quick BLOGCAST
A few months ago, we added the Site Building Dashboard which lets you easily switch between your WebSite Tonight®, Quick Shopping Cart®, and Quick Blogcast accounts. Now, we’ve added a Template tab to the Site Building Dashboard.
The Template tab allows you to conveniently manage your templates for WebSite Tonight, Quick Shopping Cart, and Quick Blogcast from one screen. Even better, the Template tab makes it easy to select a template that is compatible across all three applications, which lets you give your users a seamless transition from your blog to your site to your store.
If you’re the Blogcast administrator, manage your templates by logging in to the Blogcast account and clicking the Templates tab.
Once you click the Template tab, do the following:
· Click the Filter button located towards the upper left of the screen.
· Select a category from the list.
· Select which application you want the template to work with (this helps you to match the look and feel across your site, store, and blog).
· Click Update to refresh the list of available templates.
· Select the template by clicking on the thumbnail and then clicking OK.
If you want to change the template for another application, click Change Template next to that application and repeat the steps above to filter your choices. If you don’t have a Change Template button, click the Dashboard tab and assign an account.
The Template tab makes it easy to switch your template and get a consistent look and feel across your sites. Check it out and take some time to let us know what you think!
I am very disappointed that I can not change the images on my blog template [that matches my website template that I can change the images on] without knowing CSS. If I knew CSS, I would have not bought Website Tonight templates.
Hi Carolyn,
We have had many requests for exactly the same thing, templates that work in both WebSite Tonight and Quick Blogcast, and can be customized in the same way without having to know CSS.
To find a template that works with both applications, follow these steps:
1. Log into either your WebSite Tonight or Quick Blogcast account.
2. Click the "Templates" tab at the upper left corner of the page:
3. Here, you can filter and find templates that work with both products. To start, click the "Filter Template List" button. This will bring up a small window where you can choose a category and "Templates that work with:". The most templates that work with both products are currently in the "New!" category. You will also want to select both "Site" and "Blog" so the filter will only show templates that work with both products. Your filter should look like the image below:
4. Once you find a template that is to your liking, You will want to update both your Blog and your Site templates on the right side:
5. Once you have applied the templates to both products, you can edit the exact same background images in each of them and customize the templates to look identical on each.
