   Hi,
   If you want the store home page to become your sites homepage see :- 
http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/how_to
and either the section on moving the hhomepage or moving the homepage with ajax support.  Be aware that the server will have an order of preference for selecting which page to use as the sites preferred page when just the domain name is added. You can try renaming any existing index.html or home.html etc if they get in the way, or check with your ISP.

If you want a non shopping cart page thenn you can just use a regular HREF link to the store pages from there instead.

	I hope you don't mind but I have another question. I think it makes sense for me to add my home page (index.htm) to the store. Since this is a static page now what is the best way to add it to the store? Do I place some sort of include statement? Make a new content page? I can't seem to figure this one out. My product pages look the way I want them at this point but now I need the initial landing page of my site to interact with the product pages. I hope this makes some sense to you cause I'm not sure I understand what I just wrote Thanks again Alan

	Alan: "pcHeaderFooter.css" pertains to the default graphical interface that ProductCart ships with. If you use your own design (most stores do), you should remove the line that loads that CSS document, unless of course you choose to use the styles that it defines in your own design.

	Earlyimp, thanks for that tip. I'll make the changes to my stylesheet and see if that does it. By the way, are the stylesheets which are in header.asp supposed to be pcstorefront and headerfooter? Then I suppose I can add my stylesheet as well? Hamish, let me try this first. If it works you won't have to spend the time reviewing my page. Much Thanks to you all. Alan

	Hi Alan, Can you post a link to the page in question & I'll take a look.

	If you change a style and you see no changes in the interface, the reasons can be: (1) The style definition is incorrect, in which case it is ignored completely by the browser (2) There is another style that is taking priority over your definition Finding (2) and resolving the possible CSS conflict can take quite some time in certain cases. There is a workaround. You can give total priority to your style definition by using the "!important" declaration. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/cascade.html#important-rules This might help.

	O.K., its me again. I hope you don't get too tired of me soon. Those tools for Firefox are great and showed me the elements. However, for the title on the product page it shows H1 and I trace back to the class. I've now changed every H1 I could find for font and color and no change shows. This is also the case for the Category Links. Changed every one I could find and still no change. Do I need to submit a ticket on this? Thanks, Alan

	Hi Alan, A great way to find what style is being used for any particular item on the page is to use Firefox with the Web Developer extension (Firebug extension is also great). With that you can examine the CSS used for any element (ctrl + shift + Y) then point the mouse at the element in question - infom appears in a bar at the top, clicking on it opens a style info box. You can even edit (temporarily) the CSS and see it changing before your very eyes (Ctrl + Shift + E) - You can then save your revised CSS if you wish & FTP it back to your site. It's very cool & very useful!!

	Hamish, Well the light is getting brighter. I've set up products and previewed the page and most is what I'm looking for. I still can't get the text color changes for the Product Name, Price, List etc. I've changed the storefront.css and the headerfooter.css for the proper font changes and nothing works. Do you know whcih stylesheet contains the styles for these items? Is there some sort of listing of where the styles come from for various sections of pc? Thanks again, maybe a little down the road I'll be able to answer some questions as well. Alan
