About DWTs

Dynamic Web Templates are identified by the extension ".dwt."
The Dynamic Web Templates for this package are located in the "my_resume_dwt" folder.
Dynamic Web Templates act as the "base" for all of your web site (.htm) pages. If you change the underlying .dwt, all the web pages based on that .dwt will change. This makes for easy site-wide changes to the underlying design.
Dynamic Web Templates have "editable" and "non-editable" regions.
1. Editable Regions can change from page to page -- your page content, for example. You can open the web site pages (.htm) and make changes in the Editable Regions.
2. Non-editable Regions are areas defined by the base .dwt, and cannot be changed on the individual .htm pages.
3. To change non-editable regions, you will have to open the base .dwt file. Changing this .dwt file will change every page associated with it across your web site.
  1. Open the "my_resume_dwt" folder.
  2. Open the DWT you want to change.
  3. Make your changes and save. The changes will propagate across all the pages that are associated with that DWT.
This template package requires you to change the .dwt files in order to add your logo and change copyright information. Please see the Template-Specific Instructions below.
The Dynamic Web Template Interchange Guidelines are a set of guidelines used by many developers to provide dynamic web templates that interchange seamlessly.
This template follows the DWTIG. This means that you can apply any other DWTIG-compliant template to your web site and have it convert painlessly and easily. Or, you can apply this DWT package to any DWTIG-compliant site in a few steps.
If you have a web site with scripting, there are some special considerations that you will have to make when using DWTs. Please refer to the DWT Interchange Guidelines website (www.dwtig.com) for current information regarding scripting (ASP, Javascript, etc.) located outside the <body> </body> tags of web pages.

Definition of Editable Regions for DWTs
doctitle	The Title of the Page - this is what appears in the uppermost left status bar of the published page. To edit this and the following two regions, right click over the body of the page and select Page Properties. Fill in your own information for the Title, Page Description, and Keywords fields. You will want to do this on each page.
keywords	Keywords for your Page/Site; important for search engine spidering purposes. To edit, see instructions above for "doctitle."
description	Description of your Page/Site; important for search engine spidering purposes. To edit, see instructions above for "doctitle."
scripting	Location for any coding (asp, java script, etc.) which requires placement within the <HEAD> </HEAD> tags of the web page.
banner*	Name of the Page Being Viewed - you may either use the "text" banner provided with FrontPage or type in the title manually.
sub_menu*	Secondary Navigation - uses FrontPage navigation structure link bar; depending on the location of the page in the FrontPage navigation structure, this will be set to either "Child" or "Same" level. Default is "Child" level (see "Navigation Changes" below).
body1	Main Content - in a 2 or 3 column layout, this content will appear in the widest content column. In a 1 column layout, this will appear first.
body2	Secondary Content - in a 3 column layout, this content will appear in the left column. In a 2 column layout, this content will appear in the smaller of the two columns. In a 1 column layout, this content will appear directly beneath the body1 editable region's content.
body3	Third Level Content - in a 3 column layout, this content will appear in the right column. In a 2 column layout, this content will appear directly beneath the body1 editable region's content. In a 1 column layout, this content will appear directly beneath the body2 editable region's content.
